Balloons Carry A Man In A Chair Over The Alps
Jonathan Trappe — the 38-year-old North Carolinan adventurer who floats through the sky using of a cluster of balloons — is at it again; this time flying over the Alps in his lawn chair tied to dozens of helium-filled balloons. Starting in the French mountain town of Châteauvieux, Trappe took flight for 12 hours, soaring above the French and Italian Alps using 54 balloons filled with helium. He landed near the Italiantown of Andezeno, where he was bestowed with claim to fame of being the first person to cross the Alps via cluster ballooning.
