The headline is in bold so it automatically gets the your eye. It is linked to the article because it says ‘up up and away the day that the armchair travel really took off’ Jonathan Trappe the man who connected several balloons to an armchair and flue over from Kent to France. The picture show lots of different colored balloons connected to the armchair flying over a beautiful blue sea, I am very sure you would have love to try this because I know I would. There is a film called up which is very similar to this article, it is about an old man who’s wife has died and he wants to live a new life in a different country but he does not have enough money to go, so he gets hundreds of balloons which he has connected to his chimney coming out the top and flies away. Jonathan took this option of flying away like this because he said ‘a hot air balloon is very beautiful but makes a loud roar but a gas balloon is the only aircraft that flies in complete silence.

Jonathan also says ‘didnt you have this dream, just this wonderful fantasy of grabbing on to a toy balloons and floating into the open space’. In the picture Jonathan is in the air flying in the open space going where ever the wind will take him.
