who has had zero g in a jump ship?

[Newbie 0]

who has been on a plane when the pilot did a little zero g just for the fun of it? Got it for a few seconds in Spain last year and it was scary initially - but fun as hell!

When I was Florida recently I had a few 0 g rides. Also watched an inflatable chair 0 g exits, funny as hell, looked really stable as they went out the door then as they hit the relative wind they were all over the place.

A couple of times. It's fun.

We had to land with the plane the other day and I now think that our pilot, although very competent, is one sadistic bastard. He did a tight 180 carving approach to final, then pulled up and cut the throttle so we all floated for a second before slamming us down.
On the other hand, he agreed at once when I asked if he could do a zero g maneuver for my exit. He also said that he could float me out of the plane if I just sat opposite the door, but I politely declined.

Been there and done that a few times here and there.

The coolest IMHO is when they put the plane into Zero G for raft dives.

Do 'em a lot in Cessna Land
4, 5 bodies all hitting and sticking to the roof... Makes for hillarious video if you hold the camera still heheee.

Hey, isin't there a guy who floats from the very front of a diving empty Otter all the way to the back and out the door? Where did I see that? Somebodies vid.

My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Mullins plane is indeed FUN!! Now, if I could just talk the pilots into making "zero G" before exit SOP at my home DZ......

I guess I lead a sheltered life, never had a true zero g experience (in a jump plane that is). I'm wondering about clearing the aircraft? How about on the previous mentioned raft jump? Can anyone comment?

[ChileRelleno 0]

Many, many times! Zero-g is alot of fun just be sure to check your handles afterward!

Now if you have a pilot with cajones and the right aircraft, ask'em for a 1g barrelroll, when done properly you don't even feel it.

I've done it, but the pilot would rather remain nameless.

Once. Last year in Croatia. I didn't realise what was happening and end up landing on my head tangled up with someone else! Was a bit worried about my handles, but was all ok.
The tandem passsanger took it well...until he landed then was very very ill!!

[Brains 2]

i have some video of it in a cessna when i was going through my tandem cert. course. Fun stuff.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

[CanuckInUSA 0]

I have. But I can't tell you who the pilot was, otherwise I would have to kill you.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

We used to get 8-10 seconds of zero-G on our king air. Enough time to pass Dave Nagy over our heads to the front of the plane, spin him around, and bring him back.

[ZoneRat 0]

8-10 seconds! YEah!

I was in a 182 with this really heavy guy in back. He asked the pilot for a little help. The pilot initiated enough zero-g so that big guy could float from his ass to his knees! It was totally unexpected. My head hit the roof. I can only imagine the suprised look on my face! lol.

What a fun little moment that was!

If I remember correctly I think it was Kevin922 that had some video of that, or else it was him. Ask him.

I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them.

[flyangel2 2]

Lots of times. I love the look on the face of tandems and newbies to the sport when they don't know it's coming.
Most times after the zero g is done, I yell "MORE". Other jumpers don't like the ride, so I get dirty looks.
