A Canadian man was fined nearly $20,000 by an Alberta court for using more than 100 helium balloons to take a lawn chair flight over Calgary.
Provincial court Judge Bruce Fraser heard Daniel Boria, 27, who pleaded guilty in December to dangerous operation of an aircraft, strapped more than 100 balloons to a lawn chair in July 2015 and flew 2-1/2 miles over Calgary.
Prosecutors said Boria's flight interfered with the flights of commercialaircraft and put hundreds of people in danger.
Fraser approved a plea agreement to have Boria pay a $3,750 fine and make a $15,000 donation to charity.
Only in Canada right?!?
