Answer 1

Hi John -

When I was in flight training I used to get quite sick for a few flights, especially when the instructor was flying so I didn't know what was going to happen next. This is not unusual at all. I remember my first ride in a T-37 - we took off, did a high performance climbing turn up into the weather, and I was totally unsure of which way was up within 5 seconds in the clouds. When we broke out, the horizon was in a very different position than I thought it would be. This is very disorienting (it was before I had any instrument training), but after a few flights most of us got used to it and it no longer bothered us. The few that didn't get over it did not remain in the program. By the time we got to doing real aerobatics and formation work, there was no disorientation at all. After that was T-38 training, and by then we were all pretty comfortable in the air.

Answer 2

On Takeoff on any plane i get like that. I love flying. However i once flew in a Jet awhile back and it was like no other experience.

Answer 3

Heck my little Cessna feels like that sometimes.

A jet fighter can feel like that but when doing extreme maneuvers it is actually painful.

Answer 4

You bet your A&&. Why do you think pilots always fly every chance they get?

Answer 5

It is possible. You can experience that sensation in any aircraft. I was on a jet airliner and it was coming down to land in Tokyo and we hit rough air and the plane was going up and down like on a roller coaster and it did it so much that it almost made me sick.

Answer 6

Yes.  That funny feeling in your stomach is the result of free fall.  It's that falling feeling you get when you come down the hill on a roller coaster.  Imagine that feeling all the time, 24 hours a day.  That's the way you feel all the time when your in space.  Your stomach is used to constant gravity. When deprived of that gravity your first reaction would be to hurl. When they're first in micro-gravity many people get sick at first and for a while.  Others are OK with it.  It depend of how much training you've had and the individual.

No - multiply that by 10.
