They Say You Cannot Keep A Good Man Down,

which certainly seems to be the case with Jonathan Trappe,


he has a number of flights to his credit on his clusterballon web page, but now he has raised the bar in his attempt to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean using 365 helium balloons, he was fascinated by the 2009 Walt Disney Picture launched a Pixar Animation Studios Film, UP! and decided to emulate the film, but now the big one, flying at 7,600m (25,000ft), the trip across the Atlantic is expected to take between three and seven days – much longer than the 14-hour cluster balloon flight record he currently holds, He became the only person to have crossed the English Channel by cluster balloon in May 2010, and the Alps in September 2011, with my fear of heights it would not appeal to me, but what an adventure!
