     Last week I was flying from BWI to Cumberland, MD on a local commuter.
This being a twin-prop 9-seater with the pilot and I aboard, I asked if I
could watch the flight from the right front seat.  (your pardon if I use
the wrong terms here, I don't have a license).

     Anywho, we're flying along when the pilot tells me this story about
some guy that tied a whole bunch of helium baloons to a lawn chair and took
along a BB gun to pop the baloons.  He tells me the guy got over 10,000 feet.

     This story is either true or the biggest whopper I've ever heard.
Anyone know which?
