Toy Balloons as Air Travel - Getting High with 150 Party Baloons (VIDEO)
Getting High with 150 Party Baloons

A boomer gas station owner rigged up a super lawn chair with 150+ helium filled party balloons and flew more than 200 miles.  Hes balloon journey took him across a desert to a field in Idaho.  His original departure was in Bend, Oregon. 

It took about nine hours to fly the 235 miles. Fairly ordinary party balloons provided the lift. His back up descent gear was a blow gun and darts.

“We are preparing for descent, anybody have a BB gun?”

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. (washingtonpost)
