Patrick Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 The AP has the story:Using his trusty BB gun to help him return to Earth, a 48-year-old gas station owner flew a lawn chair rigged with helium-filled balloons more than 200 miles across the Oregon desert Saturday, landing in a field in Idaho.Kent Couch created a sensation in this tiny farming community, where he touched down safely in a pasture after lifting off from Bend, Ore., and was soon greeted by dozens of people who gave him drinks of water, local plumber Mark Hetz said.Video story here, as well: Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

hawkfish Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 That guy is either a daredevil or just crazy. You couldn't pay me enough to fly 200 feet on that thing.
