We've all been there. Some of us remember it better than others, that's all.
The better we remember it, the more pleasant experiences such as you describe
tend to be.

Certain activities are highly conducive to a type of meditative state that
enhances consciousness. This enhancement helps us to remember what heaven is
like and to sense its proximity, which we find pleasant. Flying is among
these activities, and not just for pilots.

Good grief.


Where does one start?

ROFL! I don't think the stuff he's "having" is delivered by waitresses,
it's delivered by characters on the show "Cops".

That was exactly how my instrument DE had me get into an unusual
attitude. He said "close your eyes, now turn to the right, level it out,
turn to the left, level it out, turn to the right, level it out, now
open your eyes and recover." Pretty amazing how quickly things can go
south and all the while I'm blissfully unaware. :-) Nice story

and forth, all to the beat of the music. It was magical.

Heh heh. I *knew* I could count on someone bringing that up!

Okay, so my eyes were only closed for a few seconds. And Mary was in
the right seat, making sure I didn't go inverted. Or maybe it was
just tears in my eyes, making it hard to see.

Whatever, it was -- and always will be -- my version of heaven. Those
who have never experienced the joy of flying like this have my deepest
sympathy, as it is truly one of the greatest experiences a human can
have.

"one-G steep turns?"

"one-G steep turns?"

You know, the kind that Bob Hoover would demonstrate whilst pouring a
glass of iced tea...

Those were called 'loops' as I recall.

And there's no way I can think of to pull up at the bottom of a loop
without exceeding one G.

They were barrel rolls.

Right. They weren't one G turns. Or was Mr. Honeck performing
aerobatics with his family?
