Actually I am fortunate.....my pain in the butt comes not from Wet Saddle Syndrome but from my great love of five star curries and hot peppers.

The wonderful Bell 204/205/212 series of pilot seats is what got me....that and engineers who relied upon sticks and flags to track main rotors.

There were times I felt more like a basketball than a pilot.

The trick to catching them young filly's is to run just fast enough to get caught! Promise them a dish washing machine and you are well on your way to getting your feet under the table.
