A 48-year-old Idaho man attached helium filled balloons to a lawn chair and flew across the Oregon desert on Saturday. Kent Couch soared up to about 200 feet off the ground and traveled more than 200 miles over nine hours before landing in a field and being greeted by dozens of delighted Idahoans. Couch controlled the flight course by shooting down balloons with his BB gun to lower himself the ground. This was Couch's third balloon flight and he says he'd do it every weekend if he had the time and the money.
