Hi folks

Flying100k miles in '10, reading the ask a UA pilot thread on FT and listening to channel 9, I decided to start taking flying lessons.

In jan 2010, I did an air combat experience:

It was a blast, but during the 45-minute flight, I lost my breakfast. Twice. Sad but understandable considering the yanking and banking and the circling around that was going on. Landing was followed by more nausea, and all I could do the next 5 hours was lie down.

One year later, last weekend, I did an official introductory flight lesson. The flight was ok. For the first 20 minutes that is. Then, as the instructor took over to land, I started to feel dizzy. By the time we landed, I couldn't walk straight. I had to lie down on a couch and nap for 45 minutes, then I was ok to drive back home.

Now, I'm just not sure if I'm cut out for piloting an aircraft. I usually don't get airsick on an airliner, but do in the backseat of a car. I think it's to do with an unlimited field of view - in a car, or in a GA airplane, I feel a little claustrophobic. I'm getting dizzy thinking about it .

I really like flying, but not enough to spend $150/hr AND feel like crap when I'm done. Any fellow FTers know of how to get around this problem? Does this go away if I keep going back?

thanks
