I was privileged to have four FJ trips as a journalist. One was a glorified photo op - the other three training sorties, at my request (and necessary for the report).

I was sick each time I flew, but I got on with my job and remain incredibly impressed with the pilots' professionalism and kindness to me in helping me through the worst of it, with consideration for both my stomach and my task in recording the events..

A pilot who throws the a/c around just to show off is missing an opportunity to leave the pax feeling like I do...empty of food but full of praise.

Having said that, I think the article at the top of this thread is a roundabout way of passing on to the lay reader the realities of the FJ environment...and nicely done it is.
