too much time on hand, but I could see why he did it.

Getting back the feeling of childhood innocence is worth the ticket I think.

Larry Walters -- who in 1982 rose three miles above Los Angeles in a lawn chair lifted by balloons. Walters had surprised an airline pilot, who radioed the control tower that he had just passed a guy in a lawn chair. Walters paid a $1,500 penalty for violating air traffic rules.

I remember this guy. It seems he wandered into the approach to LAX. That caused some problems.
