skydiving would probably cover this but I’m specifically referring to windless weightlessness such as while in a diving plane or (beter yet) in space.
How to experience weightlessness
It made me
like WHOA! 
"Out of control!"
How I did it: It was on a simulator at my job... When we reached the point of weightlessness for the first time I was panic-stricken because no matter how hard I tried to force myself down to the floor, I kept floating... Eventually it got fun, but the first time was scarier than I expected... I mean, when you can't count on GRAVITY, what can you count on?!?
Lessons & tips: Not for those prone to motion-sickness...

I've Always Wanted To Do This

When I worked at NASA I tried, and failed, to get a ride on the “Vomit Comet”.
There are companies that offer this for about 4K.
I’m SO there.
===============
Oh, and I’m a pilot and I’ve flown this one. You just pull up 45 degrees and push over 45 degrees down. You get 0 G over the top.
I did it in a small, 2 seat aerobatic plane. No room to float around and have fun. Zero G doesn’t last long in a plane that small.
I can’t wait to float around and twirl like an astronaut.
I will almost certainly be very nauseated though.
Bit of trivia on me: I haven’t thrown up since 1983.

Sounds interesting. The occasional feeling of having no stomach is not enough! :p

This is one those things that I’ve wanted to do ever since I was a small kid. Space travel would surely be an awesome experience, but I could settle for a free fall weightless experience as well.

I guess that this experience would the most exciting in my life and will never forget it!

Not free-fall, actual weightlessness, like in space. No resistance. I have a hard time imagining this.
