Ah, the infamous COD flight.I have it on very good authority that ONE carrier landing and launch sequence in any aircraft type (but particularly the COD as a passenger) will forever cure any fear of roller coasters.
I've also heard that pilots who enjoy COD flights in rough seas are certifiable nutcases.
I wouldn't fly with anyone who wasn't.

Had the joy of a landing in ‘93 or ‘94 but never the joy of a launch :(

Riding out Hurricane David at sea off Charleston in 1979 spoiled took all the fun out of roller coasters for me.
I have been taken off USS Dallas (SSN-700) wet collar and all.
