It never occurred to me before but it must be fun to drop weight when piloting a plane. Losing 30,000 lbs all at once.. Whee!

I think you're suggesting a release without making a gentle (can't have that thing slamming back up into its mount), approximately 10-degree downward pitch change correction, in which case one won't notice any significant altitude deviation, so as to occasion a "whee!" (or wee-wee).
