Is this some sort of malicious code or something?
My security settings won't allow me to play it, and I'm supposed to download
and install some exotic .exe file to see it. I'll pass on the flying dogs!

Here's a safe one though :

Yeah, I did that too. I thought it was funny right up to when my buddy's
dog puked in MY plane.

Ha! That was hillarious..

The dog almost looks to be enjoying it...up untill the upside-down
landing, I'm sure.. :-)

oh my.

i have to admit i just fell out laughing about the pooch barfing (i
don't know why i thought it was funny and i apologise for doing so) but
i did worry some about the wisdom of subjecting the dog to that ride.
it does look funny as heck with the dog just floating into the picture
but by the end you wonder how the dog landed. i've thought about the
wisdom of taking a dog in a light plane....probably wouldn't do it.
y'all??

Oh buck up mate. We've done this with our dogs and kids for years in a
friends DC-3. It's a skydiving plane and we put the door on and have at
'er. It's great fun.
Now cat, that's funny!

I can see it, with no problem. Just a Windows media file, no attempts to
install suspect software.
Funny, a zero G-dog! Not sure I'd want it in my cockpit though, a loose dog.

My dog flies with me, but I don't subject her to zero G's. She just sits
in the back and looks out the window.

Looks like the dog grabbed the guy's headset to try to steady himself.

I have flown dogs and cats. No problems, but no zero G's.

Difficult in a Cherokee, but I'm sure she wants to!

Now, seriously... do you think that having adrift animals in the cockpit is
such a cool idea? Not a wise thing in a car, imagine in a three-axis moving
vehicle...
And if I ever did I'd do my best to ensure that they stay on the seat... no
zero G's excursion. I don't want the animal to knock my head around, much
less get panicky and start yapping, biting, running around the controls.
IMHO it's one of the dumbest ideas you could ever have.
Sorry but couldn't resist. Had to say it.

I doubt if most people are doing zero G manuevers while their pets are in
the back. Personally, I fly more conservatively when my dog's aboard. I'd
be more concerned about having some whining, crying child in the backseat.
Zena just sits there and looks out the window, or lays down. If no one is
with me in the passenger seat, I'll use a bungee cord to prevent the seat
from flopping forward. I have considered putting a harness on her, with a
short lead to the seatbelt anchors. I just want to make sure she's as
comfortable as possible. She doesn't fly with me all that often.

And on top of this, the glider will smell like dog after a couple of
hours...

Zena looks pretty calm and happy.
I bring my Jack Russell Terrier, Rudder, with me, but she's in a small
crate in the back of a C-152 and usually asleep before I've reached the
airport boundary. I would not consider having her ride out of the crate,
but JRTs are different ... she'd be wanting to fly and filing PIREPS
("how was the ride?" "Ruff" ... it's an OLD joke, I know).

Bah .. nothing

We used to make the winter overhaul in an old piggery... now that's a smell!
;) And... lasted at least a few weeks in the season.

I don't. My youngest goes with me on my "fun" flights. She can take
the maneuvers/thermals/etc. better than I can.

Ha! My kids BEG me to subject them to zero G maneuvers.

Mary eventually puts a stop to it...

Well kids ain't dogs. Even though some of them behave in ways tham makes you
love dogs... sometimes.
A kid can control fear, can be told to stay still and he/she will most of
the times. You can strap a kid and he won't bite you. You can communicate
with a kid
A whining, crying child can be told to shut up and he will understand. At
least he is well straped and the damage he can make is limited to annoying
noise. And if he goes crying, you may have done something wrong with the
airplane, or him. Maybe explain better what's going to happen, and if your
passanger is not enjoying it just don't do it. No sense in scaring the
living sh** out of him/her. Valid as well for adult passengers.
I love acrobatics, my girlfriend almost yanked my head off first time I
tried a steep bank with her onboard. Never got to try the loop :)

Good flights!
