jimatcatthat's a great bunch of clips to watch... i remember all the problems i had with motion sickness when i was working on my private... dramamine, bonine, queasy aids, flying on an empty stomache, nothing seemed to work... finally got an instructor that had patience, and would work with me... took over 30 hrs to solo, but after that, i've not had any problems... those guys have the "right stuff"

Brings to mind listening to pilots that were carrier qual'd and what some of them had to do to get there - especally enjoyed the ones relating 'traps' on the third wire - that must be one heck of a thump when that thing is snatched out of the air and slammed onto the deck!
