I've heard this same statement made by an Air Force Thunderbird
pilot when he took a local reporter for a spin...consume only bananas
before the flight, not because they prevent motion sickness but they are
the least offensive thing when they come back up!

I've heard a story (from a journo?) that mentioned the importance of
eating only bananas for breakfast before going on a "manoeuvring"
aircraft. ;-) I don't know how true it is though, as I don't like
bananas and obviously I avoid any unnecessary motion which I might be
sensitive to. :)
