Go weightless over
Russia in the Russian Space Agency's IL-76 MDK. We're now taking reservations for a special
October 17th zero-gravity flight.
The specially-modified Illyushin-76 cargo plane is known for its huge
interior and provides the most floating space of any of the world's zero-g aircraft. Only 14
participants are allowed on each flight, so flyers have an incredible amount of space in which to
fly, float and experience the fun of being weightless.
This is a rare opportunity to prepare for space in the very same plane used
to train cosmonauts and visiting astronauts for a trip to the International Space Station. Because
the IL-76 MDK is so actively used for cosmonaut training, only a limited number of flight dates are
made available to civilians each year.
The zero-gravity of space is simulated when
pilot of the IL-76 MDK performs a maneuver known as a parabola. The aircraft climbs steeply and then
curves downward, as if it is flying up and over a hill. As the plane goes "over the
hill", passengers feel weightless for roughly 22 to 28
seconds.
A typical Russian Space Agency
zero-gravity flight lasts approximately two hours and includes 10 parabolas. At the end of
your flight, you will have experienced roughly four minutes of
weightlessness.
We've put together an incredible five day, four night zero-gravity space adventure that includes hotel
accommodations, ground transfers, a Moscow city tour and most meals, for $11,750. This itinerary includes a VIP tour of Star
City and admission to the special Museum of Cosmonautics, the day prior to your zero-gravity
flight.

Other
itineraries are available. You must pass a medical check and receive advance security clearance to
fly. For more information, and/or to receive a custom quote on the space adventure of your dreams,
give us a call or send us an

Bigger is better. No question about it. For the ultimate
zero-gravity experience, you need to travel to Russia for a flight in the Russian Space Agency's
space-filled IL-76 MDK.
That said, a private zero-gravity adventure in a small plane is a whole lot of fun too. Incredible Adventures offers personal zero-gravity
adventures near Tampa, Florida in a four-passenger Rockwell Commander 700. Each flight lasts about an hour and
includes 12 or more ten-second weightless parabolas. Scheduling is easy. Best of all, each flight is
just $2500.
For more information, give us a call or visit our website. (Add an L-39
fighter jet training flight to your space adventure for just $3000.)
Incredible Adventures offers shark diving adventures in four
great locations. You don't have to be a certified diver to join any of the trips, but you do
need to be fast at calling or emailing. Some of
the trips sell out far in advance. (Our 2014 Isla Guadalupe trips
are almost sold out, so we've started taking reservations for the 2015 viewing
season.)
This year's white shark season in San
Francisco is September 28 - November 17.
Our next Bahamas Tiger Shark Adventure is
August 24th. (Private charters can be scheduled virtually anytime at a cost of
$8750.)
For more information, contact us by
email, or give her a call at 800-644-7382.
