(EXCERPT) by Airman 1st Class Yvonne Clark 47th Flying Training Wing
Public Affairs

12/1/2003 - LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- While being spun
in a chair and parasailing hardly sound like intense pilot training
exercises, they are several techniques aerospace physiology experts
use to train Air Force pilots.

But, is this "news"?

Airman Yvonne is doubtless stretching a bit to meet her quota.

While it no doubt beats getting shot at, there are few jobs more
dispiriting than being a very low-rank military public relations
writer.


all the best -- Dan Ford
