"Lawn chairs’ flight aborted in storm
BEND — An Oregon gas station owner and an Iraqi adventurer trying to fly from Oregon to Montana in tandem lawn chairs suspended from party balloons are back on land after having to abort their flight in a thunderstorm. Kent Couch and Fareed Lafta were seven hours into their flight when they were forced to land 30 miles east of their starting point. They lifted off Saturday morning at Couch’s gas station."
