3. Selfie at 15,000 feet????

4. From the looks of it, I'd guess they are at about 3,000' or so above the ground

It's also a glider (not that gliders can't go up to 15K and higher, but just sayin').

5. Ok - I first thought

once I got over my fright, that they were at 50,000. When I calmed down further, I thought 20,000 then settled on 15,000. Not that I'm afraid of heights. OHHH NOOOO.

6. Wait...

Why is not the water going toward the ceiling, if he is upside down?

7. Because the glider is executing a positive G-force maneuver, most likely a barrel roll

Here's a youtube of a couple of guys doing it in a Beechcraft 1900, which are commonly used by regional airlines. I doubt they had any paying passengers in the back, at least not any future repeat customers anyway.

8. ok, thanks..

is there such a thing as a negative G force factor? I suppose if they were heading towards the ground..nose down..than the juice would go up?

9. Yes to the first question, and it would go up relative to the pilot, but not necessarily the ground

Positive Gs push you down into the seat, negative Gs push you up into the straps.
