As with OK, don't take my seat-of-the-pants sensors away from me. I shall overcome the "leans" in prolonged IMC with no autopilot engaged and maintaining 10 or 15 feet from my flight lead. Some glances at the ADI and other gauges shall save me from my belief that I had been flying inverted for the last 3 minutes, heh heh.
OFF TOPIC.
Reminds me of one flight I had during my CF-101 Voodoo experience (2,000 hrs). I was wing man and while in IMC, lead called me into line-astern position for maneuvers. After a few minutes I remarked to my backseater that - gosh, did I ever have the leans - and I could swear that we are inverted right now. He responded: "Yep we are - this is the last half of three rolls" !
