This is a true story. On July 2 1982, Larry Walters, a 33-year-old North Hollywood truck driver filled 45 weather balloons with helium and tied them to an aluminium garden chair. Then he put on a parachute and dimbed into the chair with lots of supplies including some water, a pellet gun, a CB radio, an altimeter, and a camera. He planned to fly across the desert.The chair was attached to the bumper of a friend's car with two ropes. But when his friends cut one of the ropes, the other rope slipped too. Larry shot up into the sky at more than 300 metres per second. It was so fast that his glasses fell off. He climbed quickly to about five kilometres above the ground. Larry spoke to his friends on his radio. I'm floating across Los Angeles Harbour, he said. He wanted to fly to the Rocky Mountains, but the wind took him towards Lang Beach Municipal Airport. Two pilots saw Larry and radioed air traffic control. They were all very surprised. The air was thin three miles above the ground and Larry felt cold and dizzy. He shot some of the balloons with his gun, the chair floated down, and he landed safely. Back on earth, Larry was famous. He appeared on lots of television shows and people loved him. But the Federal Aviation Administration didn't think it was funny and they wanted to take away his pilot's licence. They couldn't because he didn't have one.
