Having spent countless hours sitting back ward in the ass end of the airplane engaged in that exercise (usually referred to as "bouncing" or "crash and dash"), I can assure you that the pleasure was all yours.The pilot loved it , the guy in the back seat , or other , tried desperately for several hours (for P-3's 4 hours was considered the maximum a observer could stand, so we usually did 5-6) NOT to puke. NOT FUN! [:(]
Steve, you can never get accustomed to that (i.e. not get sick) in the back of the airplane?
You are supposed to not get sick. Cronic airsickness is cause for a permanent grounding. Sometimes people will look the otherway. I once went through a period of almost a year when I got sick almost everytime I flew. Yet through most of my career I rarely got sick. "Bouncing" is one of those things that make many people sick. I once knew a PILOT that would make himself airsick by bouncing.[X(] (That's EXTREMELY rare).
Thanks for info Steve!
