What would it be like to fly like a bird?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly like a bird?  Well here are some ingenious folks that strapped a video camera on some balloons filled with helium and let her go.  Video is a little long but neat none the less.

About Jeff

Up until 2005 I was a normal hard working father of 4 happily married. Then May 3, 2005 I had major heart issues which put me in the hospital for five weeks being worked up for a heart transplant. I was then fortunate to get out and have weight loss surgery and over 180 pounds later I do not need a heart transplant. I am still working hard married to a beautiful wife Tammy and have three children in the home and one gown up and on her own. Blogging started as a way to keep a journal of my medical issues and then in 2007 I took Fam5 public and actively promoting the blog. I know post about 'stuff that matters' and have the almost famous 'freaky friday link love'. Hope you enjoy the blog and look forward to your comments. Thank you

  1. That is an excellent video. It would be great to be able to fly without mechanical assistance.

    Then again, I would easily settle for being a cat and doing nothing but eating and sleeping all day.

    Being a cat and doing nothing today would be a great idea since it is snowing out at Shasta Lake again today.

  3. Thank Al Gore for the Internet!
