The need to "feel the wind in your hair" is best fulfilled by skydiving, though it can also be fulfilled by riding in a convertible, swinging on a tire swing, or getting sneezed on by a jumbo jet. Feel the rush with today's Groupon: for $36, you get an Earn Your Wings package with a DVD of your session (up to a $79.95 value) at iFly SF in Union City. This Groupon is not valid on Saturday or Sunday.
The Earn Your Wings package includes:
- One training session.
- Use of all flight gear.
- Two one-minute flights in the vertical wind tunnel.
- Hands-on assistance from an instructor.
- A personalized flight certificate.
- DVD footage of your session.
iFly's technology, which is all-ages friendly, simulates the feeling of skydiving without plummeting toward the earth at 9.8 meters per second. iFly's wind tunnel simulates skydiving by suspending patrons only a few feet off the ground sans parachute. This package gets Groupon-holders two flights in the tunnel—the time equivalent of three tandem skydives—plenty of time to practice an MJ-tribute moonwalk, rid the dust from gaming cartridges, or pop the question to a significant other. The DVD lets fliers relive tricks and maneuvers for years to come, and a personalized flight certificate gets 2.5 hours of free valet parking. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

The Groupon Guide to: Classic Fast-Food Commercials
Television commercials are like a fine wine—they influence people to drive their trucks off-road over a bunch of boulders and they only get better with age. See if you can remember which of your favorite eateries these classic fast-food commercials were advertising:
• Two kids reach for the last slice of pizza. The first kid suggests they split it, but the second would rather go hungry than ruin the beautiful pizza slice. The mom intervenes, rewarding the second kid with the entire slice and punishing the first by making him eat a disgusting salad.
• A teen is sad at first that his parents don't have enough money to buy a hamburger and french fries, but then he is happy because there are combo meals now and they can surely afford one of those.
• A doctor explains all of the vitamins that naturally occur in tacos.
• Popular 1980s comedian Sam Kinison wakes up and screams until a butler delivers a bucket of chicken to his bed.
• Runchly, the roast-beef-sandwich monster, sits on kids until they're not hungry anymore.
