Yeah, take Barry up and then have the pilot eject.

From what I have heard, a good acrobatic pilot can induce motion sickness upon his passengers at will. I once went up, telling the pilot he could not make me sick; he smiled, and said “maybe not, but I can make you pass out and —— your pants”.

I feel safer knowing that our Air Force Secretary is named Debbie.

As long as they don’t bang chicks or make jokes about someone being queer...then they can fly all they like using jet fuel made from sea plankton excrement while performing over gay pride events and Muslim outreach expos.

Agree with feeling sorry for the Crew Chief, but I would bet dollars to soggy donuts that most of the pilots and crews were having great fun.

I've heard fighter pilots brag they can make anyone (even cargo and passenger pilots) barf in the back seat. It's merely a matter of how hard they try. Toss on a couple of negative gees and lunch is pushing out with more force than nature ever intended.

I cant find a picture, but I remember one of these celebrity ride-alongs had barf bags stuffed in every pocket of their flight suit.
A persons got to know their limitations. I admire that.
I found that brown paper grocery bags were much better when I took folks up for glider rides.
The larger opening is easier to aim for in a hurry...:^)

Any chance that the Secret Service would allow the POTUS to get his own demonstration flight? some POTUS would not mine.

Interesting...
Only thre or four people would have ever known about this, so it would have been kept quiet....IF this was someone they respected......

I’d’ve punched out, and left another smoking hole in the Nevada desert.

They gave me a bag to puke in when I was given a ride on an f16. I used it.
It is hard to hold the bag up to your mouth while under g loads.
