Last weekend, Oregon gas station owner Kent Couch took off on a 193 mile solo flight -in a lawn chair attached to 105 helium balloons! He took along food and drinks, a bb gun, and a parachute. His flight, reminiscent of Larry Walters flight in 1982, reached an altitude of 13,000 feet and lasted nine hours. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OR_FLYING_LAWN_CHAIR_OROL-?SITE=ORSAL&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT -via
