Talking about puking as you do, has anyone actually felt nauseous at the controls? The only time I ever did, and I've done plenty of aeros and all the other good pukeable stuff, was when I did a long 6 hourish glider flight at mostly highish altitude without O2, between 8 and 9 thousand feet and I was having to work fairly hard at staying there. I had the vomit rush, you know the dry retch (sorry if you're eating lunch) every minute or so for a good half hour towards the end. Never been able to figure that one out, as passenger jets have a cabin altitude of 8,000 or so and I've never felt nauseous in one of those.
Yep happened to me at barely 2000ft, i felt hot nauseous and was reaching for the vents, had pax on board and did not want to alarm, no turbulence and plenty to look at (no flat spaces, merging horizons)
Its happend twice to me and in both times i've made a beeline back to the airfeild, in the process of making the call, getting into decent and circuit i feel much better when i'm occupied?

I've heard some people get some thing called 'breakaway' where its an onset of vertigo in the cockpit, all though i don't get vertigo i have had the nuasea.

I have done some aerobatics, not a huge fan but never felt sick?
