Airsick Pilots

[DieselFan]

Just a thought

I wonder if birds get air sick or if there are birds scared of heights

Or are there dolphins that get sea sick

New legislation will dicate that all birds have their systems cleaned out thoroughly every 300 hours or shot. CAA are punting for the shooting as the officials need to practice for the MPL guys...DEAT suggested brooklax, ironically DEAT will be wondering what all the SH!T is about and have to clean up. They're busy with an environmental impact assement

In the meantime all birds who value their lives / bowels will be following Kortbroek and CAA Big Tummy practicing dead sticks / worms. Here's hoping they drive convertibles

2 months to go. If it weren't for triking we'd have a lot more alcoholics!

So to answer the quote above - birds will be getting airsick (for their ATF) and dolphins seasick as they won't see us trikes anymore

I wonder if birds worry about getting a wing cramping up in flight

Says something about 2 stroke reliability!

Yes, some birds are scared of heights. Take the Hadida as an example. As soon as they take off, they start screaming with fear.

Still can't stand on the edge of a building...but 10 000' in a trike - no problem.

Never been airsick though and have had some 45 degree smacks over the Waterberg and doors on Cheetah burst open in a dust devil once.

Russell BIRD :D :D :D

We are inclined to assume this is airsickness. Is there not just the small possibility this is an engine fumes thing? Carbon monoxide, dioxides etc. I understand CO attaches itself to the red blood cells & does not let go, hence there is gradual asphixia, with nausea etc. etc.

You might have a point there -
Try flying with the doors open next time

[Tumbleweed]

And doors look stupid on a trike anyway

Success, went up for 1.5 hrs today in the Cheetah, admittedly deacalm weather. But was more confident, felt like I had full control, well I hope so got through 5 t & g's unnasisted with no incidents.

Skipped the coffee and tried a couple of ginger biscuits for breakfast.
totally enjoyed, maybe I complete the 3-axis thing.

What's this thing called "airsickness"?
Don't know it.......sorry for the guys that suffer from it

[Thunderboy]

Dre'man if you can get yourself over to Crosswinds some time Ill take you up in the Thunderbird, more open like a trike - you may find the air a bit fresher ??

[Aerosan]

Dre`man maak vas jou hoed I must admit that the flight with thunderboy was rather nice....without my cap

Might just take you up on that one, how far is crosswinds from Circus?
Or maybe at a breakfast.

It would be nice to get a feel for different types.

[Thunderboy]

40 miles from circus

We probably having a fly in breakfast on the 17th
