Narrative:

During an aerial survey flight the passenger became violently ill, both vomiting and shaking. The severity of his illness necessitated an immediate landing in a rural area. The landing site was in the vicinity of a farm house which aroused the inhabitants curiosity. After the passenger recovered an uneventful takeoff was accomplished with a drop off about 5 NM south. The recurring sickness required several stops enroute.
