Befor the chinese spy balloon we had Lawnchair Larry

 Lawnchair Larry flight

There have been quite a few have done this, but I think maybe this guy was the first.

I remember hearing about this on the news at the time. And thinking what a dumb mothereffer.

But whatever floats your boat I guess. Or in this case lawnchair.

Can you imagine being in a commercial airliner, look out your window and see a guy in a lawnchair? Maybe he's giving you a thumbs up sign.

Holy smokes, visions of william shatner and the monster on the plane come to mind.
