Default zoom with hawking?


Just did a Goole search of "Hawking zero G" and read most of the articles

and
looked at all the photos and guess what no zoom ...Even the group photo

after
the flight had no zoom...Could it be that maybe zoom is being less then
truthfull?? Hmmmm.


Of course he's not IN the picture. Being a journalist, he TOOK the picture.

And being an incredibly modest person, he gave the photo credit to
somebody else.

Most modern cameras have a delay so the photographer could run around
the camera and insert himself (no jokes please) into the photo...

I have asked NASA for SOB on that flight. Their info sheet on Internet
says 15 or so days to answer a query via DC. Johnson don't have any
data here in Houston.

Anyone around Kenedy where Vomet Commet flies from that could get the
SOB on that flight from the source?

Folks... I've just come off one of the most extraordinary weeks of my
life. This week has been steeped in all segments of aviation -- I flew
in Zero Gravity (aboard a Boeing 727) with Professor Stephen
Hawking... I looped and rolled my Glasair III off the Florida coast...
I flew Cessna's new Citation Mustang... I checked a buddy out in his
new Mooney... I traveled a good deal on America's airliners (NOT UAL)
to get to and fro... and I got to do a little bit of soaring in a
sturdy old Grob Twin II Acro sailplane. I loved and valued all the
ways in which I aviated... equally and for unique/important reasons. I
have never found any aspect of aviation to be any thing but
synergistic with the rest. There is equal value in all of aviation and
we should stand together, united, against all threats



I suspect this could be a lie. Does anyone really think that kook was
up with Hawking in that 727? I read the story in the news, and saw no
one in the pictures with Hawking that looked like Cambell.

Wasn't the Hawking flight a private venture that does not involve the
Vomit Comet?

Yep. Private company, all the way.

They still call it a vomit comet, and that is where the confusion gets
involved.
