awesome day! first flight ever

So Ink? Gonna do it for real? Get your PPL?

If so drop me a PM - I'm a couple months into training and would be happy to give you a few pointers.

I absolutely am, but it's gonna take awhile I got a lot of kids to feed and business is kinda slow, but no doubt I will get my certificate, pilots license, or whatever it's called.

Not eating is TERRIBLE advice.  You are actually less likely to barf if you have a little food in your stomach.  Trust me, I've been teaching people to fly military aircraft for over 6 years now and having something to eat for breakfast is a much better way to fend off airsickness.

I recommend having some protein, because it digests slower and gives your digestive tract something to work with instead of just having stomach acid sloshing around in there.  A "perfect" breakfast is something like an egg mcmuffin (make your own so it's not as greasy) and a bananna.  Why the bananna?  Because they taste better coming back up than egg mcmuffin

Having an all-carb breakfast will screw with you, so don't just have cereal or a sugary breakfast bar or pop-tart.  You'll end up with a sugar/insulin spike/crash, which can add to inflight feelings of distress, which leads to barfing.  Get some protein in there, make it a smallish but complete/balanced meal and you'll do better.

this is something that's hard for me to understand. i've never had these problems. i've been up in my friends super decathalon, and he;s played around......and it's a blast....never felt as if i was going to lose my lunch though.

Yo Ink.. Very cool!! I'm about 20 hrs into getting my license.. If you got any questions about what it takes (or what I'm going through) just let me know.. I'd be happy to discuss my experience so far..

yep.

we checked with mcguire, to be sure the warren grove moa was cold......and went there to play. most pilots around here avoid it, as they're not sure of the rules for going into moa's/..............

yes, that stuff IS A FRAKKIN BLAST!!

yup same here... did full aerobatics in a T-6 Texan... TOTAL AWESOMENESS!

ink.........i didn't think when i posted what i did earlier.



i wasn't meaning to sound derogatory towards ya. it's more normal to hurl, then it is to not, in those situations. i was trying to say that i feel i'm lucky that it doesn;t happen to me.

 hopefully, you didn't take any insult to what i was saying..i just went through the thread, and it came off to me as if i was being an ass.

 sorry dude, if i was......

Looks great, I very very nearly flew aerobatics in a Decathlon once. But some fog rolled in and we cancelled. What with one thing and another. I never got the chance again.

I agree with Eagl, better to have some food in your stomach than none. I flew in a Pitts Special once, pulled +5g and -2g. I felt sick as a dog afterward until I ate my lunch. Felt much better then, apart from the strained neck!

about 6 weeks back  I went up in a Slingsby Firefly and did the same stuff loops , rolls, wingovers.    It is the same plane Thrila will be learning to fly in with his initial Topgun Training (lucky barsteward).

was a great time and it left me regretting not joining the RAF when I was 18      

Had a full english breakfast and didn't come near to puking      Still waiting on the DVD of my brilliant flying
