Favorite prank of pilots giving a Fam Ride to someone ( ie a non flyer out for a spin), is to tell you to “look left”, then break hard right or vice versa when you turn your head. The G force on the middle ear causes immediate and severe vertigo and a prompt emptying of the stomach contents for most people....

Um, even for those who were the radar techs, after an intermittent short, under a kick panel, that never occurred in the flying straight and level of an F4, and the only way to chase it was to ride in the back seat with the panels removed to watch for a loose wire, while jinking about, and attempting to stay out of the way of the other control stick in front of you, which moved as the pilot moved his control stick in the jinks.

That did cause a mess to clean up, um, with “more places for stuff to run into crevices, etc.”
