OT airlines to expensive?

Here is a new way to beat airline costs!

Kent Couch leaves his gas station in Bend, Ore., on Saturday, July 5, 2008, riding a lawn chair rigged with more than 150 giant party balloons in an attempt to fly to Idaho. He is equipped with a BB gun and a blowgun for popping balloons if he gets too high and three 15-gallon barrels of cherry Kool-Aid for ballast to release if he gets too low

Looks like you can take oversized boards as well!

The LAST guy was a Brazilian Priest lost at sea...

The Priest "was wearing a helmet, aluminum thermal flight suit, water proof coveralls and parachute"
