Hey there lads.

Long time reader, first time poster here. First off I'd like to say thanks for this thread, it has been very helpful in preparation for my upcoming flight screening program on the 14th of March at Tamworth.

I've done a Red Baron flight and have one more scheduled before I go and I think they're going to be invaluable in the way it has prepared me for how a plane handles... and also for the motion! I was airsick the first time (no chucks, just queasy) haha I thought I was done for. But the instructor assured me it was normal, especially because it was very cloudy and we couldn't even see the horizon when doing rolls. I would definitely recommend the experience to anyone in the Sydney area thinking of going for the job.

A quick question I have though. I just had root canal done (about 10 minutes ago) and I'm wondering if this is going to be affected by flying? Has anyone else had dental work within a couple of weeks of the flying I'm to expect at FSP? Hopefully the altitude or G's don't affect it. Should be able to tell on Tuesday when I go for one more quick flight.

Anyway, one more quick thanks and hopefully see some of you in the actual forces.

Cheers,
Dan
