The real Danny Deckchair

Kent Couch, of Bend, sailed with his cluster balloons on the way to Idaho early Saturday morning. He was climbing at roughly 800 feet per minute with the Three Sisters behind him to an expected cruising altitude that averaged 11,000 feet.
An Oregon man has undoubtedly set some kind of record by travelling 193 miles in a flying deckchair, the Bend Bulletin reports.
