graphic - strong stomachs only
So during the spinning they teach you how to breath, not so much to breath, but more to control the muscles that are contracting your stomach to vomit. Today was much better, we did a couple goes in the pattern, went out to the area for some G-ex and abnormal recoveries, then back to the pattern. I felt kinda crapy in the pattern but was able to force it out of mind and the breathing helped, but on our very last pattern I couldn't hold it back, a little bit of crunchy peanut butter came up, but I was able to swallow it down - I think that just adds to the madness, and holding it back only leads to to explosive puking that comes out your nose and sense I'm trying to ignore it I don't get my bag out in time then it filled the mask, sprayed out the top covering my visor so I couldn't see - it was kinda funny, but encouraging cuz its getting better, and I didn't puke in the chair. Turns out we went 1.7 hours if we would have done the regular 1.3 I might have made it. My performance flying is still really bad, but hopefully I can focus more on flying now.

It sounds like you're making progress! I know you'll be glad to get this yukky stuff past you so you can get on to the real business of flying. We are enjoying keeping up with you!!

The last two Hog games I've been to have had flyovers of a Stealth Bomber and 2 F-16's. I couldn't help but think each time I'd love to see a Warthog come over one of these days with you at the controls! dd
Hey buddy, just remember, no pain - no gain!
Romans 5:3-5 "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Luke
