Larry Walters

Lawrence Larry Richard Walters, nicknamed Lawnchair Larry or the Lawn Chair Pilot, was an American truck driver who took flight on July 2, 1982, in a homemade airship. Dubbed Inspiration I, the flying machine consisted of an ordinary patio chair with 45 heliumfilled weather balloons attached to it. Walters rose to an altitude of over 15,000 feet and floated from his point of origin in San Pedro, California, into controlled airspace near Los Angeles International Airport. His flight was widely reported.
