"I think I know a few SI 'personalities' who'd pass up that experience"

LOL!

Yes, we did it here: Seven of us--family and friends--Tandem flights with instructor. Three got a bit nauseous as it was quite turbulent. Those so prone would be advised to take some ginger or whatever works for them beforehand.

I was not at all sick--lucky me.

I will probably get my license next summer (it only takes 8 or 9 lessons).

Remember that workshop game where you fall back in someones arms to experience your level of trust? It is kind of like that when you hope you won't fall out of your harness and out of the sky. Really these things can't happen...but what if they did?!...<gg>

You must try it, Poet. You really really must!
