I'm not prone to motion sickness, and certainly can't speak for piloting, but as someone who has spent a lot of time on boats, working on the surface and underwater, as a diver, I've gathered what seems to be some helpful hints. I've talked many a diver who was blowing chunks through their regulator, underwater, into not panicking, as well as anyone on the boat, through their seasickness.

Mike is right on with his advice. On boats, I always tell someone who is green to get outside, on the deck, breathing fresh air, and looking straight ahead to the horizon, or land, if it's in sight. Fresh air and looking straight ahead is the key on a boat, so Mike's advice totally makes sense in the air as well.

As far as the acupressure wrist bands, some people swear by them. I think if it works for you, then wear them. I've never really had motion sickness, so I can't speak for personal knowledge about the wrist bands, but some people feel they're effective.

Having said that....how can I get a ride with the Blue Angels when they're here for Fleet Week?.... Do I have to become a news reporter? Skygirl wants the personal challenge of seeing if she can beat G-Lock!.. ...well, one can dream anyway...
