Last year William won Airman of the year for the AWC. When he won his wing told him they wanted to possibly give him an incentive flight. That is when they put you in a jet and fly you around. Now this all depends on whether the pilots have an opening. Well, in November they called William and told him they had an opening and they would love to fly him around. He was ecstatic. He flew on December 17th in a F16. It was a rainy cloudy day, which we hardly ever have in Vegas. He was so excited he could hardly sleep the night before. It was very cute. He was told that they would push him until he threw up so in advance he took some dramamine so he could enjoy the flight. Needless to say I don 't think he could ever get enough dramamine in his system so as to not puke. The pilot said that they all puke like that. It has to do with your inner ear and all of a sudden it will fix it self and they stop puking. It took him 10 rides before he adjusted. Needless to say Will only had one flight. The pilot took him over the strip and over the Range Wing. While they were flying they saw a train. So the pilot flew over it than flew back around and dropped real low and raced the train. That was one of Williams favorite parts of the flight. They got up to 6 g's, the pilot was willing to go to 9 but William said that he was ok. By that time he had already thrown up a good bit and didn't want to throw up to much more. He said it was a great award and he was so happy he got to do it. When I asked if he would like to do it again, he said, no thanks, I'm good! So funny! Just a quick mention on the title. Lil'Will used to call the jets, two! So sad that he no longer does that.
