 Don’t
you want to fly in the sky by grabbing on to a bunch of balloons? That
would be fantastic! But is it really possible to fly in the sky
using balloons? Well, let’s ask the American adventurer Jonathan Trappe.
Obviously, his answer is
YES! As a matter of fact, he just
did it!
On May 29, he successfully crossed English Channel between England
and France using 54 colorful balloons! The 36-year-old adventurer
set off from a field in Kent, England early
in the morning and landed in France safely four hours later.
“It was just an amazing and peaceful experience,” he
said. To our surprise, it was not his first balloon flight. He has already made
numerous trips using a bunch
of helium balloons.
Last month, he set a new world record for
the longest free-floating balloon flight
by flying 174 kilometers across North Carolina in America. Floating
in the air using balloons surely sounds fun. But don’t try this at
home - it can be very dangerous for children! |
