And made a new record for ebing the first person to circumnavigate the world in a hot air balloon solo.
After having his landing delayed due t high winds he has finally touched down in SW Queenstown, Australia.

CNN's article

Wish I had that kind of money!! :envious:

<font color="snow">Good on him for doing it in the end, and sticking to it. </font>

well it looks like 5 times is the charm eh? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

now its on to his next goal... Flying or rather.. .GLIDING (thats with a glider without propulsion) through the stratosphere! :D

Good luck and Congratulations!

Yeah I was looking foward to him landing in South Australia. I was going to and see him land.... but nnooooo!!! dam winds!!

So he landed in Queensland and I went home annoyed.

Heh, funny he finally manage to fulfill his life dream and for what... short newpaperclips for 2 or 3 days... I mean who cares anyway? It might have been impressive in 1850, get a airline ticket for gods sake... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't know about that dude, if i had that kind of money, i don't think i would be spending my time in a hot air balloon. :D

I completely agree! Why would anyone actually care? Some rich guy spends millions, talks a beer company into spending millions, all for what? A long ballon ride? wow.woopie.i'm clapping.
