Balloon Person of the Day: Extreme behavior enthusiast Jonathan Trappe attached 55 helium balloons to an ordinary office chair, strapped himself in, and set off into the wild blue yonder, Up-style.
From the Daily Mail:
He reached a height of 14,783 feet after strapping the industrial-strength balloons to the steel-cased chair and setting off from an airport in North Carolina. […]
‘I took two years before this flight gaining my Federal Aviation Administration licence to fly helium balloons as well as hot air balloons,’ said Mr Trappe. […]
Returning to the ground more than three hours after take-off near Battleboro in North Carolina - more than 60 miles from his take-off point - Mr Trappe packed up his trusty chair and returned it back to his desk.
‘I still sit on the same chair at work,’ he said.
