Zero G Flight Ilyushin 76 MDK

Who hasn't watched the shuttle astronauts floating around inside the space station and felt the tug of curiosity and a little pang of jealousy... You know you've said it... Those five little words... "How cool would that be?"

Don't be a bystander any longer! You can experience the un-Earthly feeling of weightlessness, the thrill of zero gravity, and the excitement of training the way the Cosmonauts do. The Ilyushin 76 MDK is the largest parabola aircraft in the world, and the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center has trained many of Russia's top cosmonauts... and now this closely monitored and guarded exclusive training is available to select civilians!

Picture yourself here... 6,000 meters above the ground, above the clouds, the earth growing smaller. It seems like you've paused, midair, but you're rising in a steep 45 degree angle. Then you feel it... two full G's of force as the thrust is removed and suddenly you're weightless! It's your turn to soar! For the first time, you are able to experience what astronauts and cosmonauts alike have experienced, and you have to the answer to your question... "It is wayyyyyyyyy cool!"

@ChromaTutsVEVO To be honest: not only this. :)

the american version is much better and this is my new dream to go to america and go on a zero-g flight!

[SEL9000]

The American way isn't better, because you are inside a plane with more as 30 people. The diameter of the Boeing is is more of the double less as in the Ilyushin. But - everyone can decide what he wants to have - both of the flights are good.

That must be an amazing experience. Unfortunately the only company that does it in the U.S. charges over $4500. Oh well, all the more excuse to get my own pilot's license.

Great Video!
