Zero G flights taking off from Dulles - wtop.com
Ever dream of floating around like the men and women on the Space Shuttle? You'll want to know about some special flights out of Dulles Airport.
You don't have to be an astronaut or travel to space to experience weightlessness. A company called Zero G offers flights on a modified Boeing 727 called G-Force One.
The pilot performs climbing and descending maneuvers at altitudes of up to 34-thousand feet, allowing passengers to float freely inside.
"[It's] sensational actually," says Zero G's Edwin Lorse. "It's true weightlessness that we create inside our airplane," Lorse says.
The cost? About $5,000 per person plus tax. One flight leaves Dulles today, the next one departs on July 4th.
