Wow, never heard of that. Maybe it was the bad shrooms from Darwins.

Had that the other night going up to ANC. The most beautiful display I have ever seen, but looking at them made both of us feel like we were in a left turn!

Lay off the Jack Daniels the night before, hook up the autopilot and turn the lights on in your cockpit. Works for me every time!

Sorry about the sentences, four days in a row of bad scheduling, starting at one am and getting done at two am the next day. And on and on like that
