I've heard in an Aztec desperate times call for desperate measures. Like an empty pizza box.

And no it wasnt me, and no I never got to ask the guy why he was flying around with an empty pizza box.

A Is there any foods you stay away from before going away or while away to prevent ralphing all over the cockpit?

Ralphing in the cockpit is the least of your worries.

I try to eat at least an hour before a flight. That way if the there is something very wrong with the food I usually know before the flight.

Maybe so but on another forum a long time ago a similar thread went into details of gastro distress in a single pilot freighter without autopilot in IMC. It led to disturbing yet page turning reading. One coworker earned the nickname "bank bag"

Stopped at a 7-11 just before daylight and bought a bottle of Gatorade, I'm the only customer. Walked out the door and emptied the bottle into the planter. Put the bottle in the bag and returned to my car. Just before backing out noticed the cashier looking at me like I'm the dumb ass.

I dont eat fast food before I fly. I just never know when it will come back to haunt me.

Our SAAB freighters dont, and we routinely do three hour legs.

Should have turned around and gotten her number. She's kind of hot. Not a lot hot, just a little.
 
I have scary thoughts of someday having to take the raft out of it's little metal box and using it(the box) as a pooper. Knock on wood, so far so good.

I diverted in the middle of Iowa once. Only time I've ever gotten a through-clearance. ATC and the company knew exactly what was going on. "HEY! I gotta divert to notgonnagothere Iowa to uhh... check something! NOW!"
 
When I flew freight I kept an empty bottle of gatorade in my flight bag and one full one, in case I got thirsty or the first one was not big enough.

Sometimes you gotta roll. My ultimate explosion was from quizno's in vegas.... the next day.

And I quote the FA to the captain "just so you know, the FO is explosively vomiting in the forward lav."

She apparently didn't count the assplosion moments before it started coming out the top end. It was my first flight in our "brand new" former TW 757.... I will forever associate that new plane smell with me just destroying the forward lav as well as the cockpit trash bag.

Walking off the plane, I carried my flight kit down the stairs, yarfed one more time, then grabbed my overnight bag and carried it down the stairs.

THUG LIFE.
 
The only thing the upsets my stomach is fast food. McDonalds promises a destroyed toilet in 15-20 mins. A nice salad is about the safest thing you can possibly eat IMO.

Pepper spray laced Chinese chicken fried in gutter oil? Fine. DQPw/C = colon blow. Which always has me begging the question, if I can survive gutter oil, what in the crap is in fast food?
