Bob Hoover got airsick all the time in his earlier days, claimed that's why he flew so smoothe, he had to to keep from getting sick!

That is good to hear. I have been on the edge, queasy for many of my flights. Recently also did actually throw up (it was almost all water, clear so not too bad...going to drink less water prior to flying) but I may have been not 100% even on the ground. Was getting sick.
Someone in a thread here mentioned throwing up for months while first learning to fly. I actually thought it was an exaggeration and asked if he meant just queasy or actually meant threw up, he meant threw up.
Suddenly I fealt like a real wimp for sweating feeling queasy each flight. It helped me get perspective.
I work with a guy that had gotten introductory flight lessons in England from his GF, then continued but never got his certificate. Since I was just starting, and found out I asked why and he said because of the queasiness.
The big thing I think is to hope and believe that it will not happen all the time, that the body will get used to it and one day it will be considerably less.
One thing though, when it was at its worst I did have to ask the CFI to take over. I felt like I was getting water boarded, really couldn't breath and was thinking if I were alone up there it would be difficult to focus on flying and be alert.
Any experienced pilots, or new pilots have something like that? Where the nausea made you almost not able to fly?
