Message-ID: <557@bnl.UUCP> Date: Tue, 7-Aug-84 05:38:57 EDT Article-I.D.: bnl.557 Posted: Tue Aug 7 05:38:57 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Aug-84 01:43:58 EDT Lines: 15 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? Mark Becker ...sbcs!bnl!mbeck
