Default One Degree of Separation

I have a buddy who jumped thru all the CAP hoops to get a ride in a jet trainer. He got the ejection seat lecture and strapped in. Going with Johathan's story on the first manouver, he lost his burrito. (Precise op into the barf bag.) The Pilot asked if he wanted to go home. He said, 'no, I'm empty now, let's go'. The pilot liked the kid's attitude. Really showed him what the jet could do.

When my stomach was learning to fly, I used the lesson while flying in the back seat with a hard core cross country flyer. Precise op followed by another hour of thermaling. Bucket hats are quite useful.
