So sad when it was over... Here is the silver team one last time together and my coaches and I exiting the plane. Luckily, I did not get sick. Many, many people did--8 on the flight alone. More once we landed. I have admit though, I pondered it for a good two minutes after our last floating, but I promised my kids I would not get sick!




Trying to get our roller coaster going in weightless gravity... easier said than done. I kept floating away from our experiment. We had the track all set up and someone accidently kicked it off our wall. Oops--quick fix and we were ready to roll. But it didn't roll--the marble floated off the track in whatever direction I seemed to push it and kept on going.
Gravity was returning and our plane was about to crash land! (I crash landed a few times too.) I guess that's what I get for crawling on the ceiling like Spiderman and doing a few flips :)

The whole 5th grade signed the **pink** paper airplane. It flew in weightless and the kids will get their signatures back... eventually. Right now it's living on my bulletin board.



The Harvey Eagle flew! I can't wait to see the video--I hope we got this on camera somehow.
Love my hair! Beats the Medusa look I was sporting last Halloween.
One of the first parabolas and my stomach is still getting used to the "bottom of the roller coaster" feeling. You had to be very careful when you pushed off because you would move very easily!


Flying with Lee Thomas from Fox 2 news. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Most of the media flew with our team and it lead to a busy area and a few crashes--oops, sorry Channel 7!
The whole crew--coaches, fliers, media. Tall people to the back, of course...
It's my plane... ta-da!
