Lawn Chair Larry: Part 2
Level: Intermediate

There’s only hand luggage for this flight. All Larry takes is his lunch, a parachute, a CB radio and a camera. The CB radio is to alert other aircraft.

‘Okay,’ Larry tells his friends. ‘Cut the rope!’

To everyone’s surprise the flying chair works. It flies up into the sky and quickly reached 20 metres. Then 200 metres. Still it keeps rising.

Gunman in Flying Chair

Soon the chair is three miles above the Californian coast. Reports began coming in to air traffic control. ‘There’s a flying chair up here! And the guy sitting in it has a gun!’

Meanwhile Larry is having a wonderful time. But it’s now very cold in the high
altitude. It’s time to come down.

Larry begins shooting the balloons. Slowly the chair descends. It touches power cables on the descent, causing a power cut in Los Angeles. But eventually Larry lands safely.
