Don’t feel so bad it can hit anyone from time to time.

A few weeks back a student of mine asked to take two friends on a scenic flight around our area. It was dead calm and the smoothest air you can fly in. I had heard no complaints from the back seat for the short flight. Upon arriving back in the airport pattern I heard the first "oh I’m feeling a bit off". Uh oh. The first wave was minor, but shortly after that vomit from the back seat was coming into the front seat area. It kept coming and as it turns out the guy had eaten a bag of Doritos and drank two huge sprites’ before flying. A guy in the backseat actually got puke on my knee board which was strapped to my leg!?!? Can you say exorcist?

What was even more fun was that it was about 5 degrees outside and the minute we stopped and opened the doors it was all frozen to every surface. Chipping frozen puke off of an aircraft interior is not a very desirable end to ones day. I guess the bright side is that if it had been warm out the stench would have had everyone draining their stomachs.
