Nope, never have. I do keep signing up for a cat shot ride along with the US Navy.

Notice the top 5 accelerating coasters are foreign. The fukking lawyers here would never allow it to be different.

Catapult shot off the USS Coral Sea (CV-43) in the Summer of 1983 in the Mediterranean on a C-2 with other Midshipmen from various universities not named Cal. 0 to 140-ish in less than 3 seconds.

The sensation off the catapult was you are flying straight up due to the inner ear disturbance pushing the cilia and fluid back before it could equalize. Many later years I learned about "spacial disorientation" in flight training and to trust the instruments in the cockpit. Your initial response is to push the control forward so you don't stall the aircraft. In sharp turns, it's the same thing. At night time with no visible horizon, it's the same sensation. JFK Jr. and passengers found out the hard way.

Anyway, the Moving Sale answer is, "Yes."

What did AP try to do to himself right after the famous panties-in-the-mirror photo was taken?
