Many exaggerated or simply inaccurate stories have circulated around the Web regarding Walters' flight. The following facts have been confirmed from interviews with his friends and family, and by analysing a recording of his CB radio transmissions. * Larry was launched from his girlfriend's backyard in San Pedro, California with the assistance of another friend, Ron Richlin. * Larry dropped his glasses during lift-off, but had a spare pair with him, and radioed his "ground crew," saying, "I can see perfectly — don't worry." (Later in the flight, when his girlfriend reported she had found his glasses, he replied "Well, that's good news.") * Larry did not pass near LAX, but rather Long Beach airport, where TWA and Delta Airlines pilots sighted him and reported him to the tower. * Larry came down in a residential area north-east of Long Beach airport. * Larry did not drop his BB gun during lift-off. However, later in the flight, after using it to pop balloons to begin a descent, he did drop the gun. * Larry did float over Long Beach harbor but did not float out to sea. * Larry did not, as some newspapers reported, purchase the balloons from a military surplus store, but from a balloon supplier. * Larry was not rescued by a helicopter, but rather came down on his own intent while possibly trying to land in an open field. * Larry's chair was a piece of patio furniture, not a folding lawn chair. * Larry gave the patio furniture away to a neighborhood kid, later regretting this generosity when the Smithsonian asked to place the chair in its archives. Today that same person still has the chair (with ballast water jugs and tethers still attached), and has said he intends to donate it to Larry's mother. * Larry paid $1,500 after battling the FAA. Of 4 total charges, some were dropped (it was decided that his lawn chair did not need an airworthiness certificate) and Larry admitted to one other (not establishing and maintaining two-way contact with the airport control tower). According to the FAA, "The flight was potentially unsafe, but Walters had not intended to endanger anyone". |
