no reference the Larry the Lawnchair Man? There was a radio call from a
now defunkt airline (Eastern?) that checked in with SoCal Center
"Airline XXX, one four thousand, at my 3 o'clock and 5 mile there appears
to be a man in a chair attached to a bunch of weather balloons."

The guy seems pretty happy, but notice where the helmet is. It works

Far out, man.

Like, maybe he did some rolling when he was on the runway and needed a place

Oh, and, like, that Larry guy? He's dead. Bummer.
