I have a buddy who was flying over Gainesville, FL in a C-172 one fine evening
when he had a sudden urge to void. Since he was by himself, privacy wasn't a
consideration, but he was at 8,000 feet and didn't want to land. He looked
around and decided a sick-sack was a dandy solution. Said he did a pretty good
job of using it without spilling any, too.

But then what to do with it?

Well, it wasn't like he knew anybody down below. He opened the window....

As you know, the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The wind hit the
bag and it exploded before he could drop it. The back seat got a pretty good
spray along with the side of the aircraft and (I assume) my friend. He didn't
give me a lot of details but suggested I not try it myself.

Me? I pee out by the tail of the airplane right before I get in if I'm out in
the sticks... in the FBO if I'm not. But I've never had a problem holding it
all day long if necessary.
