Buzz Aldrin's Zero Grav Vomit Comet Flight Suit
<B>Buzz Aldrin's Zero Gravity "Vomit Comet" Flight Suit, Signed by Him.</B></I> Size medium, measures 64" from collar to cuff, dark blue polyester / cotton blend. Signed "<I>Buzz Aldrin</B></I>" on the Diet Rite patch sewn into the back. A smaller Diet Rite patch and a Zero-G patch are sewn into the front. Diet Rite, owned by Royal Crown Company, was the launch sponsor for Zero-G Corporation, a Las Vegas-based entertainment company that sends tourists into low and zero gravity environments through parabolic flight maneuvers, the kind of flight patterns that allowed the cast and crew of the film <I>Apollo 13</B></I> to achieve weightlessness for brief periods. Zero-G's aircraft, G-Force One, is a Boeing 727-200 specially equipped to achieve Martian, Lunar, and zero gravity levels for brief periods of time. This flight suit was worn by Buzz Aldrin on one of Zero-G's first "vomit comet" flights in 2004. The suit is in excellent condition. A unique piece of Aldrin memorabilia worn by him as he once again floated weightless aboard an aircraft. <I>From the personal collection of Dr. Buzz Aldrin and accompanied by a signed Letter of Authenticity from him.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
