DIY helium balloon aircraft – the stuff of childhood dreams



This is extremely cool. The guy used a lawnchair to build an airship that carried him 235 miles (from Oregon to Idaho) that was lifted into the sky by a bunch of helium-filled balloons. He periodically shot balloons with a BB gun to maintain the right altitude. He landed safely 9 hrs after liftoff.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
