Talk:Larry Walters
|
|
Walters has been my idol ever since I heard about him years ago. The reporters and news media and of course the FAA all act as though he committed some major sin but Cripes, practically every kid I grew up with would have loved to try the same thing. This old United States has gotten so square, I can't stand to talk with most people anymore.
Frankly I think Larry must have been quite ingenious as well as cool headed to have kept his wits about him and have come through unscathed, in spite of such a long flight, the extreme altitude for an open air flight, and the bad luck of alighting on a power line.
If I'd been a Hollywood person, I'd have made a movie about Larry in a minute, and especially since he carried it off right in their own backyard.
Many, many thanks to Wikipedia for locating and printing up this story. I have never seen any of it in print before and was thrilled to find the Wiki' article through Google.com. - R B Britton, Charlottesville, Virginia 3/12/2004
