Shades of “Lawn Chair” Larry—"On July 2, 1982, Larry Walters (April 19, 1949 – October 6, 1993) made a 45-minute flight in a homemade airship made of an ordinary patio chair and 45 helium-filled weather balloons. The aircraft rose to an altitude of over approximately 15,000 feet (4,600 m) and floated from the point of takeoff in San Pedro, California, into and violating controlled airspace near Long Beach Airport. During the landing, the aircraft became entangled in power lines, but Walters was able to safely climb down. " (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawnchair_Larry_flight)

Uhh, guys? Unless I missed something, you aren’t airborne yet. Hold up on the self-congratulations until you achieve liftoff!
