Ja. In Scandinavian aircraft, Coleslaw can have a significant primary effect on the pilot, and a secondary effect on the velocity of the machine if the cockpit is open, depending on the orientation of the pilot at the relevant time - ie heading, gear up or down etc. In closed cockpits (without oxygen masks in use) the effect is on the aircrew only but can be intense depending on time since consumption and the state of the cabbage used in the dish.

So if planning a spin in the Viggen, it may be best to stick to, say, pickled herring. If considering dusting off the DH-82, Stearman etc - most foods are fine.

Let me know if you need any more help.
