I've been lucky or smooth, never had anybody mess up the
cockpit. Did have one student who came out to fly and
brought his sister along for the ride, a dual cross-country
from Wichita to Emporia, Marion, Newton and back to Wichita.
About half way to Emporia they both became ill. Seems they
had stopped for hamburgers for lunch and both also were not
feeling well before take-off.



I had a teenager get sick on me once in a C-210. I saw him looking kind of
green around the gills, then he started leaning over my charts. "Oh no you
don't!". I snatched my charts away just in time. He ended up puking into the
emergency gear extension well located between the two front seats. After we
landed, I made him clean it out, then I went looking for some Ozium... which is
great stuff for getting ride of the lovely bouquet of fresh steaming emesis.

The only time I myself got queasy was sitting in the back seat of an Arrow while
somebody else was flying. I didn't disgrace myself but I wasn't comfortable
either. I've always thought it was because I wasn't in control myself.
