Fellow pilots, let's be nicer to our passengers than this pilot
apparently is. If anyone in the plane has a bag at the ready, it's not a good time to pull zero G maneuvers!! http://www.break.com/index/barf-bags...k-at-0-gs.html This is pretty funny though :-) -Aviv |

Once had a pax open my side window and try to puke out the window. We were slowed up at the time, only 120 or so, but his plan didn't work out very well. His milkshake ended up on the instrument panel, all over his headset (which he had borrowed from me), and a large portion in the face of his girlfriend seated in the 3rd row. |

Aside from anything else, you never get the stuff out of the airplane completely. If th eairplane lives in a hot climate. it will smell for years. Ecchh. I got nauseous just watching that.. Bertie |

You're right, it's not funny to do this to another person on purpose. I doubt this was done out of malice, though, and the pilot surely regrets it. I also doubt that s/he knew what was coming, and that's where I saw humor. Anyways, isn't there some humor in most relatively harmless juvenile hijinks and general tomfoolery? One thing I don't doubt is that the pilot has learned something from this experience. Surely their punishment minimally was to clean up the mess! -Aviv |

This "stunt" is unwise as a general rule, especially in aircraft like this one; especially loaded with passengers; especially with baggage in the baggage compartment; especially with that baggage not tied down and secured; and most importantly, especially at the high rate of forward pressure this pilot was obviously using to "create the effect". It's very possible to take these airplanes right on through 0 g and into negative g if this is done fast enough and these airplanes are not designed for that. Carried to the extreme, this "stunt" could cause real structural problems. And all this doesn't even address the fact that at least one passenger on this flight was taken from the role of passenger and made a victim by this totally inappropriate, unprofessional, and unnecessary act of stupidity by this pilot. Demonstrating things like this in a loaded airplane is not the way to impress the ladies. I hope I've made my point on this perfectly clear. -- Dudley Henriques |

What an asshole! When I used to give aerobatic rides in the Stearmans, we had our share of casualties. We always briefed a signal if the passenger was getting uncomfortable. Sometimes it caught up on them, though and if you saw a head going over the cockpit side your foot went down on the same side quick-ish so you didn't get a faceful yourself. A couple of people just put their head 'twxth their knees, but fortunately, the Stearman had a removable pan beneath the cockpits you could release with a few dzus and a quick hosing our was all that was needed. Now there's a well thought out airplane. Bertie |

We had a 450 on the field I flew once in a while with the owner. Don't know if you ever had the chance to fly the 450. It was a whole new airplane. I remember laughing to myself on my first takeoff. I didn't have the power in before I broke ground. The nose visuals were about the same as the Mustang.....non-existent :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |

Bertie Kind of like reading "Sale of Two Titties".....wait....that's "Tale of two Cities I think. Begins with "It was a day like any other day"....ends with.. "Twas a far better thing I have done that I ever did before" The rest is just the middle part :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |
