Couch finally has his chair

BEND, Ore. (AP) - May 21, 2008

Kent Couch didn't have much to show for his flight through Oregon skies last summer on a lawn chair.

He didn't make it across the state as he had planned.

Wind blew him off course and he was forced to land early.

The large helium balloons that had carried him, carried his lawn chair away, including his video camera that documented the journey.

A farmer has found Couch's chair, along with the video equipment that was stuffed in a canvas bag.

Now, Couch is looking forward to sharing his flying lawn chair adventure with family and friends.

He's made two flight attempts in his aerial chair. He's undecided about a third.
