Apparently a lot of Cold War RAF transports had rear-facing passenger seats but I imagine the ride would be a bit different to that in a Bearcat! :lol:

Some people get motion sickness easier than others. Riding backwards doesn't bother some people. I'm one of them.

Well, on a flight in a B737 drinking coffee and eating a sandwich, neither am I bothered but I think it would be different in a smaller aircraft (or glider) in which you "take more part" in the flight.

The RAF VC-10s certainly did, perhaps the Britannias too. I once sat in a rearwards facing seat on a Southwest 737 - take off from El Paso was rocket-like and the sensation was slightly disconcerting but not uncomfortable! I should imagine aerobatics in a Bearcat would be a bit of a different matter!

Regarding N212KA, pretty sure that Geoff did have her listed on his site originally, suspect finger trouble may have led to an accidental deletion - something that bedevilled me with monotonous regularity at work when manipulating large tables in Word! Doh!
