Ohhhh, yeah...if you've ever flown a small aerobatic airplane. Yeeee-haw! Man, if you want to see someone with a silly-@ss grin on their face and a glassy faraway look in their eyes, get a pilot started talking about aerobatic flight. Yeah, I'm sitting here in front of my computer with that expression right now.
If you want to feel it first-hand for yourself, call one of the flight schools or FBO's (that's Fixed-Base Operators) at your local airport and find out if there's anyone around who offers aerobatic thrill flights for a fee. If you've ever wondered what flying was like, this is a real good way to find out for real. Caveat: for certain people, flying is as addictive as crack cocaine. Once you get started, if you are one of these people, you will find the craving for flight can consume you body and soul. You will find yourself spending all your money on flying. It will consume your free time, your available resources, it can destroy relationships and and forever isolate you from those who don't understand what flying can do to you.
Try it. Try it. Try it. Stop dreaming. Start flying.

I don't know in what year but ill get the link of Wiki. Some Egypt Air flight from JFK going to Cairo took off and around an hour into the flight, some strange thing happend the when this one guy (the relief piolit) was in the cockpit alone, the plane dived and all sorts of things and at one stage went into zero gravity. The other pilots outside the cockpit getting a drink had to "Swim through the air" to get back in.
The plane crashed and everyone was killed!
Ill find the link!

yes there's a flight (known colloquially as the vomit comet) that NASA use for the initial testing of things/people in zero gravity. The plane flies up almost vertically and then drops sharply down and you get 20-30s of weightlessness. It keeps doing this rollercoaster motion until they've finished testing stuff / vomiting etc.

Yeah - everytime I fly Southwest.
And that's even before I've had my 2nd drink.
