Not to knock this. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20070427/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.

Only 23 seconds so you know it's worth it.

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 wonder if the pup threw up after. Poor thing LOL

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

I gotta try this the next time I go flying. Junior is going to chalk up another new experience! LOL

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.
