And you’re doing it over and over and over. And at one point, I was like, OK, I’m gonna puke,” he recalled. While he kept mum on telling the pilot this, he said that he actually tried to “sneak [his] vomit back,” in order to not embarrass himself: “I’m like the actor in the back of the plane.
I didn’t want to be that guy.” Glen told the pilot that he was good and “‘I’m good […] I’ll be ready to rock and roll, you know, just give me a second.” That was the moment that Glen began “violently puking in this bag”, but at that same time, the pilot didn’t hear him doing that at all because he had pulled off his microphone-equipped mask midway through the conversation. “So as I’m violently puking in this bag, I just hear in my comms, ‘Well buddy, if you’re ready to rock and roll, let’s rock and roll.’ And he just inverts the plane, pulls down,” he said, before saying that because of the nose dive on the plan, his puke went into the canopy of the plane. “I’m looking at the ground here and the puke that I just puked is being puked back into my face,” he added.
