Hey Everyone,

A few years back they used to fly the academy kids (maybe advanced and camp too?) around huntsville, for an extra $100. They would show us around the city and demonstrate positive and negative gs. I thought that would be fun to do again, does anyone know the name of the company that did it? I know Space Academy did it in... 1999 It was pretty fun, I wish they would of kept with it. If anyone has any info on what im talking about please let me know! Thanks.

I think that this was discussed a while back. You may want to look at some of the older topics. Or if someone is really nice they'll dig it out for you.

Thanks for looking that up for me, it answered a few of my questions, but what im really wanting to know is the name of the company who did it... I was thinking about seeing how much it would cost for me to drive down there and have them fly me and a friend around.

mabey thats it idk

Matt, pretty much find any flight school and have an instructor take you out.

it's easy to get into a negative g- pushover if you really want to in a single engine airplane..not that i've ever done it or anything
it's more fun when you're coming out of a barrel roll and you're pulling at least 4 gs...yeah flying is fun! haha i'm so excited i get to solo this year..wahoo after 3 years of flying nonstop i'm really looking forward to getting in the airplane by myself and flying it all over my area..plus i get to take the whole day off school and just fly because my b-day's on a monday.....ok but anyway go flying if you can it's my favorite thing to do along with building rockets

if you need to find a flight school near you go to:
