Seeing the dog just sort of float up in the background. Funny stuff.
The pilot should have practiced this maneuver before subjecting the dog to a potentially injurious return to zero-G, or better yet, not have done this in the first place. If you can't smoothly transition from 0 to 1 G, don't commit animal cruelty (hey, that rhymes! --easy to remember). The telling aspect, besides seeing the poor dog get slammed back against the interior, is the pilot's headset being partially dislodged from his (somewhat empty) head.

You miserable, dog-owning, insufferable TWIT.
Rob, since when are you an authority on humor?
As for the 0 to 1g transition, I wonder what ask the pilot would have to say about this.
..."Hey Gordon, why don't you go suck some nice dick?"
And then jump out of the fuckin' plane, motherfucker.
I'm looking forward to more of your clear-headed, insightful, humorous and clever come-backs, Mr. Anderson. You floor me with your invective; I am rendered weak-kneed and retort-less in the face of your elegant, yet insidious commentary.
I like Chomsky, too.
As another pilot and dog owner, I did not find Flying dog particularly funny. If I pulled this kind of stunt I would likely have been rewarded with vomit all over the cockpit. 0 gravity is disconcerting for humans too - just ask 'astronaut' and Senator Orrin Hatch. And Rob's initial and subsequent comments were interesting in a juvenile kind of way. Obviously someone whose lack of vocabulary is exceeded only by his infantile sense of humor.
Blows its stack!!
