• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

RE: Zero G Aircraft


This Boeing 727 can hold up to 38 paying passengers, at $5,000 per person, or you may take their platinum flight, which is limited to 12 passengers, at $10,000 per person. They climb to 32,000 feet and then do a 1.8 negative G force dive to 24,000 feet and then up again for a total of 15 times. When they are approaching the 32,000 feet mark, everyone is instructed to get out of their seats located in the aft of the aircraft and lay flat on their back in the padded area. As the aircraft begins the nose dive from 32,000 feet downward, they then experience approximately 20 seconds of weightlessness. There are no major structural enhancements made to the aircraft, but the maintenance and safety checks are much more often and thorough than required.
