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.

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

xoxoxoBruce · 04-27-2007, 02:49 PM

I think I peed myself.

duck_duck · 04-27-2007, 03:52 PM

hahahaha that puppy looked like he was having fun there :p

piercehawkeye45 · 04-30-2007, 12:09 AM

Hahaha, good video.

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.

bluecuracao · 05-03-2007, 09:53 PM

I wonder if the pup threw up after. Poor thing LOL

xoxoxoBruce · 05-04-2007, 04:10 PM

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.
