The Vomit Comet
The Vomit Comet
This converted Boeing 707 was used by the Johnson Space Center in Houston to train astronauts. The jet climbed, then dove sharply - putting the folks on board in simulated zero-g for about thirty seconds.
Must have been a hell of a ride. Photo made at the Pima Air and Space museum in late August.
