Hrmm... true. If not for that year requirement this would be an ideal job. Well, it still would be for a lot of people.
 
You're probably right. I guess they can't age discriminate blatently but if I was some NASA exec maybe I wouldn't want someone my kids age flying me around either.
 
i heard Zero-G is going to be doing a lot more weightless flights for nasa and that the vomet commit is stepping down...
 
I thought the vomit comet was parked in Tucson, but maybe they have more than 1?

I was in a crashpad in miami with a couple of Amerijet FO's who had been on Zero-G flights--the videos they showed from the flight deck were interesting. It's apparently really difficult to get a perfect 0-g parabola--it's easy to either park people into the ceiling or keep them on the floor.
 
NASA has a new vomet comet, a C-9 (DC-9).

.... sorry i didnt realize how old this was so i guess now its back on top. I guess thats what I get for searching for NASA
