This is a wierd question. :
I say it demends on how you are flying. I would say pulling a few "G"s could get your stomach going. But flying straight and level would be like flying in a 757.

No matter what aircraft you fly, the training will involve G forces , being upside down and every which other way.

There are programs for those that may suffer from airsickness , at least there was at 15Wing Moose Jaw where the flight Surgeon would put you in the centrifuge and try and slowly build some tolerance to airsickness. Then actual flying is re-introduced again. It happens to the best of them and I have seen those that took this program and they are pilots today.!
Cleaned my share of "soft-fod" outta CT114 cockpits and O2 masks in my days..!!!

Just a suggestion here from a recreational pilot but, why don't you drop $50 on a intro flight at a local flight school? Have them go through all of the maneuvers and see how you do. Better yet, ask for a spin. >
I know it is not the same an 18 but if you can't handle that...Personally, I don't know how anyone can be 100% sure they want to be a Pilot or fly for a living without having experienced flying first.
PS- If you can, go up in an Eclipse or a Grob; they are a lot more fun than a 150 or a 172.

Remove a seat from one of the single CF-18's and you will see just how it feels. :-X I gaurantee that you will find some dried-up "residue".

I have quite a bit of backseating in the Hornet and it all depends on you. Some people just can't handle it. Other can... I never had any problem whatsoever. Some of the people on course with me just can't keep their meals down even when they are in control of the plane (Harvard II). When this happens, they send you on the Spin Course (Basically, build up your sickness tolerance by spinning you in a dark chamber until you can't handle it anymore. They progressively build up your tolerance...) I find the biggest part is psychological (Oh my god, I'm flying in a jet aircraft, I'll be sick) If you think that way, you'll be sick. I always had the attitude "I'll never be sick in an airplane" and I've never been sick so far, even after doing lots of ACM and BFM.
It's not a chair, it's a seat! A chair is usually confortable. The Mk10 isn't!

You may surprise yourself. Some people never, ever get air sick but are perpetually sea sick in even the calmest of seas. It really seems to affect everyone differently.

I'm totally like that. I have the hardest time on ships. Never ever been sick in a plane.
