I first flew as a passenger in 1958 on an Eastern Airlines Constellation from Chicago to Atlanta. Those were the days when a lot of "holding" was done in ladder stacks when the weather was bad and it was bad. T'storms, lightning, severe turbulence, etc. I went through military flight training in 1960 when man had been flying for 57 years. I flew for the next 58 years (military, instructor, commercial, airline, etc) One year longer than "they" had been flying when I first began. Once I became a pilot, turbulence never bothered me. As long as I could grab hold of the radio knobs to change frequencies everything was OK. Then they went to glass cockpits which was a whole new experience. When you were about to poke a screen your hand would fly up and hit an oil pressure indicator or something. I much preferred the old knobs that you could grab hold of. I flew with a girl who got airsick very quickly and she bought two wrist bracelets with the ball bearing in each that presses against the inner wrist. She said that helped a lot. She wore one on each wrist. I flew with another girl who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat barfing into a bag and I told her it was good for her to be getting this experience early in her flying career. She managed to say "thank you" very weakly. I just laughed.
