We reported a few days ago on a very interesting and awesome fact about the creator of the Linux kernel, Mr. Linus Torvalds, who apparently loves to go Zero-G in a T-33 fighter jet aircraft to relax in between kernel pulls, besides scuba diving.

The breathtaking information was revealed by Linus Torvalds on his Google+ account on July 17, 2015. Since then, a video of him preparing for the flights was posted on the Linux Foundation's YouTube account, which you can watch at the end of the article.

A day later, Mr. Torvalds also posted a few nice photos of him on board the awesome T-33 fighter jet, where you can see that his name is written on the combat aircraft. How cool is that? Pretty darn cool if you ask us! See the photo album at the end of the article.

"I don't have the hi-res in-the-air pictures yet, but here's me looking cool," says Linus Torvalds in the new Google+ post. "Although apparently +Jim Zemlin was laughing so hard when I did the thumbs-up sign that the camera shake makes that picture a bit blurry. Thanks, Jim."

We will let you now enjoy the video of Linus Torvalds as he talks about his experience with riding a combat jet, and we promise to post new photos and videos about this interesting subject if they become available online.
