Microgravity in a PA-28R

I started filming this a second or two before we began Zero-G maneuver. The pilot pitches up and you feel approx 2 G's of acceleration before the plane noses over and we got to feel a few seconds of micro-gravity. And then my camera floated out of my hand! Normal gravity was back at 8 seconds into the video :(

(More on how microgravity is achieved in aircraft can be found on the NASA or wikipedia Vomit Comit pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomit_comit#Operating_principles)
