If you listen closely you can hear the sound of 2 squads of infantry barfing inside.  :D

This is so true CPL Newman...so true!  We had a UH-60 pilot that always - ALWAYS - volunteered for the many "morale" rides given to the many soldiers who never get to experience riding in helo's and he was an amazingly skilled pilot with some stupid nerves of steel.  After a while, I had to quite being his crew chief as I never could get accustomed to his crazy stunts.  All said though, he may have turned more people away from rotary than brought them back. :)

Please do not be influenced to try this in your own aircraft, I will be deeply concerned for a second then shoot you.

Any time we do morale rides the first thing i say in my briefs is " The Army issued you a barf bag. It is called your tshirt. If you puke, you do it in the tshirt. If you puke in my aircraft you'll be scrubbing it.' I've ruined three peoples weekends after taking them to the field... no amount of baby wipes gets rid of the smell ;D

I've seen some Marine V22 pilots do some crazy shit... But damn, I can't imagine the safety brief they got after that!
