I have about 6 months ago. However I didn't have to pay there outrageous fee. They have our Zero G contract. How much do they charge these days?

One of the jumpers in the video forum I think works for them in their photo group. Look for some posts about them in there and he can get you the details on it. Also Peter Shankman did a ride with them in the last year or so and posted about it and his Dad's time.

If you've never experienced Zero G, then I would say its fantastic. Is it worth $5K? For me, no.

However, for someone else it may be totally worth it.

Peter (ntprnr) on these boards, flew on it a while back. I think maybe you should consult with him and find out his experience.

Good luck!

I did it. I got a nice media discount (over 50% off.)

It was fun - It was NOT worth full price. You got ten parabalas. It's NOT the same as skydiving. Just because you don't get sick when you jump is NOT the same thing. I didn't puke, but I was DAMN Close.

Half the plane puked. Which made the rest of the flight... Not so fun.

That said, if you can afford it, sure - do it - it's one hell of a cool thing to be weightless. But if you tip a 182 pilot $20 on a wind hold day, you can probably get the same effect.

Yeah, he'll do a zero G once in a while if you ask nicely.

Actually, he does almost what is a zero G move right before exit. Helps everyone to their feet right quick!

Actually one year at the free convention, I hired Mike And his amazing plane for a zero g flight. It was fun but each parabula lasted maybe 2-3 seconds and there wasnt huge amounts of room to move around.
