Bill Weir, the co-host of Good Morning America weekend-edition, took a ride on Red Bull Air Race plane on August 5, 2010, ahead of the weekend race in New York. It was a very exciting experience for the anchor and he was happy that he did throw up his lunch during the 6g flight over the New York race track. After the flight, Weir said, "You could see Manhattan and the skyline in the distance and then it's like this, and then like this, and like this and this. He was taking it easy on me too.....It tested my digestive system. I've got a lot of respect for these guys."
Earlier this year, Bill Weir fulfilled his dream of skydiving. Weir’s father and stepmother were amateur skydivers and frequently he used to accompany them to the nearby airstrip in his hometown known as the Aero Park.
Born in 1967 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Bill Weir received his degree in journalism and creative writing from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
