I told some folks about this at the club meeting last night so I thought I would post the link.

A couple of buddies from work decided to launch a balloon with a camera payload and some other gadgets to see if they could do it. Well 110,000 feet later, the results can be viewed here...

Nowhere near any of those. All FAA regs were adhered to.

Because airplanes follow the shore lines because of shorter rescue times, shorter swims and no trees to take them out on a water landing. Better odds of survival. Maybe.

Not many planes flying over 40k feet though. Besides, didn't I give you some work to do??
