Viagra and the Mile High Club

[Cub Driver]

This might come under the heading of news you didn't want to hear:

Aviation physicians recommend that a pilot refrain from
operating an aircraft for six hours after taking Viagra. This is
especially true if he intends to fly at night. Of course, this also
means that a pilot should definitely not use Viagra to enhance his
performance while joining the "mile high club," in which membership
is achieved by sexual activity a mile above the earth. The
combination of a sexual exertion at a 5,000 foot altitude at night
could prove a deadly combination for a pilot and his loved one.

Courtesy of the Aero-News Propwash newsletter, which notes that the
risks are especially high if the pilot is over 65.

He might also get an appendage caught in the control yoke or throttle
quadrant. Big-time BUMMER!

Aero-News is wrong about the reason pilots are not supposed to take Viagra
at night. Despite early rumors when the product was first introduced, it has
not been shown to increase anyone's risk of a heart attack. There is nothing
about sexual exertion at night that is any different than sexual exertion
during the day.

Viagra can cause a blue color shift in your vision. Ordinarily not dangerous
or even particularly annoying, but tests showed some pilots had difficulty
distinguishing runway lights from taxiway lights.

I'll bet!!!

Old news (sorry to disappoint you)...the issue of blue/white lights
on the runway was published a couple (or more?) years ago in a number
of the flying rags. Can't remember where I read about it first.

*sigh*

Can you imagine the flyer for volunteers for that study. "Must be able
to fly with Stiffy"... :)

Imagine what the NTSB report would say wonder if they would make the report
public.

For stick type controlled aircraft there's also the danger of grabbing hold
of the wrong joystick ;|

There was at least one fatal crash that the NTSB discovered was most likely
a result of a couple engaging in sex. IIRC, the report didn't mention the
word "sex," but it did mention that both occupants had their clothes off
and one of the seats was completely reclined.

Someone posted the NTSB accident report link here about a eight months ago
or so. If I remember the report correctly, it was a multiengine aircraft
and the female occupant was a flight instructor.

There was an accident some years ago when a couple flew into the
escarpment at the end of a lake at night. I remember this sentence
from the report to this day: "From the position of the bodies, and
certain injuries to the pilot, it was determined that they were
engaged in an act of oral sex at the moment of impact".
