My Experience: Scott Warren


The experience of flying in a zero gravity aircraft is a truly unique experience.

The first parabola of weightlessness felt like nothing I have felt before. Your body just floats up and you have no control over it unless you are holding on to something. After a few parabolas of getting used to it, you finally get control of your movements and tell the true feeling of weightlessness.

The plane exits hyper gravity and you are able to feel your whole body move up just like on a rollercoaster, but for a more extended time and not strapped in. You are now able to move your body in ways that you didn't think were possible. You can float in any orientation possible. The period of Microgravity doesn't last long until the next phase of hyper gravity begins. This stage of the flight feels like everything is forcing you down and that you are weaker and objects are heavier.

Both Microgravity and hyper gravity are very unique experiences that rarely anyone gets to experience. This flight has given me a new outlook on how the world looks and functions and I will always remember this amazing once in a lifetime experience. (Pictures coming soon!)
