Oh no, an other ex-military that bought the whole load of B.S. about
motion sickness being psychologically induced. I am a glider pilot
that is more at home in the air than on the ground and after 15 years
of flying and thousands of miles of cross country I can still get air
sick. Am I nervous, anxious, worried? NO! It is the getting knocked
around by rough unpredictable conditions that causes it.

Jim,

Don't let any of the ex-military bimbos try to convince you it is all
in your head, they have been fed a line of B.S. for years and don't
know or won't accept the truth. I have had several others try to
tell me or others that it is psychological when we discuss the problem
of motion sickness. Many of the pilots I know that deal with the
problem are not afraid or nervous about flying at all.

Bottom line is for many of us it is physiological not psychological. I
find early in the season each year I must get used to flying the plane
again. More frequent flights and longer duration tend to train my body
back into flying mode. Still a very rough day, especially when your
body can not anticipate what the plane will do (rotor or rough
thermals) can still set it off.

Meclizine hydrochloride (Bonine) in low dosages is still the best I
have found for passengers. =BC to =BD tablet an hour before flight and I
have never had sleepy or sick passengers. This was recommended by my
brother who is a PharmD. Without it about 8/10 will get sick in about
an hour or less.

If you have question e-mail me off forum.
