zero-gravity flight
Not to knock this. http://apnews.myway.com//article/200...D8OOJQR00.html. You can get the same shit from a small plane.

There's a video floating around the net of two guys in a small plane doing this, with an untethered dog in the back seat. laughed out loud.

Yeah, you can get the same effect in a small plane, but the Vomit Comet or similar aircraft is specifically designed/retrofitted for that purpose. A small aircraft is unlikely to withstand the load placed on it in that kind of flight. They do have G-force limits.

There's also a lot more room in a larger aircraft to have fun with the freefall.

I think the reason people throw up is it interferes with their thinking, their reasoning, their balance. Dogs kind of accept things.

Awww -- cute. And fun. The flying ball cap and then the flying document add to the scene.
Steven Hawking just got that ride, courtesy of the Comet.
