747dreamliner,

After all of about 5 seconds consideration of your dilemma, I conclude that you're normal.

I know of very few pilots on their early flights who aren't a little fazed if subjected to high 'G' loads. On my own first or second training flights, my instructor would say "Let me show you a roll, loop etc"., it gave me a buzz, but the "G", particularly the negative sort would make me feel strange for a few hours afterwards. In later times I became an aerobatics addict, actually ENJOYING the G forces (but that's just me), and later did a fair amount of advanced test flying, some of which rivalled Disneyland rides in their fervour.

That was a few years ago, now, after a few decades of 1G Airline flying don't particularly enjoy the 'wild' rides like I used to. Once in a while my son plugs me into a Tiger Moth again, and reminds me that I can still fly, and the old "Gimme some of that G magic" returns

It will grow on you, it's all about adaptation, something that the human animal is very good at

Regards,

Old Smokey
