While physically comfortble, I did not find it comforting. In strong
turbulence, whenever I looked out at the Pegasus' wings flapping
around, I felt compelled to review the bailout procedure. Eventually, I
stopped looking.

These flexible wings can also be a problem on field landings. If they
flex down and catch on a furrow, or in the crop, you are in for a wild
ride.
