I almost did. I didn't really like the bi-plane. It wasn't fun for me. It just made me feel nauseous. I also don't really like loops on rollercoasters, though! :D

I've got an iron stomach. ;) I haven't met a ride I couldn't handle... B|

Yes, I've ridden and jumped the Stearman bi-plane before. I've also ridden an Extra 300L aerobatic plane that puts out some serious G's for a propeller-driven plane.

The only times I "ralph" is due to bad food choices, too much beer, or I've got a stomach virus...

I got a ride in the Pitts S2C @ Skydive Chicago a couple weeks ago... it was awesome.

I did feel a little nauseous for a few seconds after some rolls, but it went away quickly and I enjoyed the rest of the flight.



I'm heading up to SDC at the end of the week and staying for 10 days to Finish my A license. If I got the x-tra $ do you think it's worth it?

That's not always true. My wife is deaf and she easily gets motion sickness riding in the car. It depends on the type of inner ear problem, as best as I can tell.

It would seem to me that a deaf person who can hear by using a hearing aid must still have some sort of functioning inner ear. (Not that I'm any expert in the area, however). But don't hearing aids work just by amplifying the sound?

I'm sure I could handle it if I was the one flying. :)

I did ride the Caravan down and that was a pretty intense ride. Seriously. I thought 'yeah yeah, no big deal, whatever' when my pilot friend told me as soon "as the jumpers are gone, we'll make an aggressive maneuver to get down." Sure, 'aggressive'. Whatever you say, fly-boy...:S

Then when the wingsuit exited & he got the call back from ATC, he looked at me and said "Hold on."

Holy shnikeys that was the most thrilling ride I've ever had in a plane! :ph34r: -Ok, so maybe I haven't been in a whole lot of weird situations in planes, but this was fargin' cool....B| I'd pay a jump ticket to do that again! :)

Ah... you have not had a thrilling ride until you've ridden Mullin's King Air down after dropping a load of jumpers. He'll turn that bird of his up-side-down and pull the nose downward and you're going probably over 250 mph down. I dunno how fast, but pretty damn freaking fast! :o He'll be touching down on the runway just as the first jumpers are on final approach! :ph34r:

My wife had an ear-bleed the first and only time she rode a plane as an observer, and it was on Mullins' King Air...

For added emphasis, whenever I do CRW out of his plane from full altitude, my group will be just about to land when the next load starts opening their chutes. ;)
