We arrive & suitup!

We arrive at the Zero G location, Megan briefs us on what to be aware of when shooting video in Zero G and we put on our blue flight suits.

See inside the modified 727 Boeing zero G aircraft

The plane is called the G-Force 1 and its a 727 modified Boeing airplane. We boarded the plane from the rear not the side like you would a commercial airliner. The rear of the plane is where about 20 or seats were located. Which took up about 1/4 of the planes cargo space the remaining space was for the flight lounge - the area of the plane where you could move freely.
