This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to sit in the back of an X-treme Decathlon. The Decathlon is a high performance, tandem seating aircraft that is built for aeronautical maneuvers. Sitting in the back and getting to experience all these crazy maneuvers like barrel rolls, spins, and hammerheads really made me realize how much concentration and focus it takes to be able to keep an eye on your instruments to make sure the plane is safe while still trying to also focus on your body and making sure you don’t pull excessive G’s which can be very dangerous on the body. Overall I had a great time, and I only got a little bit nauseous towards the end!
