Sometimes a stopover in Hickam AFB, Hawaii; or Elmendorf AFB, AK. Not sure if this is the sort of trip you were talking about.<br />Fuel tanks kind of limit how long a plane can fly without refueling. I am sure a pilot or crew might have a better answer. I was just a passenger. <br /><br />But yes, my motion sickness is pretty much over.

Not sure what the Air Force has that's comparable, except maybe a long flight, or series of flights. Athens to St. Louis used to take 11 hours in the air, not including layovers (usually JFK and maybe one other) along the way.Rev.

And sometimes I would get it flying (military or commercial).<br />A short car ferry ride, or out in our fishing boat and I am pretty much okay.<br />Not so sure about the rest of it.<br />God bless and keep all who do so for a living. :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
