7 June 2008. 5:45 a.m. Franklinton, N.C. Jonathan Trappe and his girlfriend, Nidia Ruiz Ramirez, steal a moment just before Jonathan takes off on a four-hour, 50-mile air trip - in his office chair - across part of eastern North Carolina. The 35-year-old attached 55 enormous balloons to his rolly office chair, eventually reaching a height of more than 14,000 feet.
