"The boy's father Richard Henne is a known storm chaser. During an apperance on the television program WifeSwap, Henne and his wife, Mayumi, focused on their love of science. "

it's not every day you get a story about a kid flying around untrammeled over the plains of Northern Colorado in an experimental aircraft *and* Wifeswap.

 

he's gonna have a kick-*** answer for "What did you do during fall break?" when he gets back to school Monday

 

Borrow a Stinger from the Mooja?

 

Looks like it's about to land!

 

Only 400ft.

 

that would be kind of fun.

 

Hes on the Ground Thank God

 

Someone's gonna have some splainin' to do

 

They keep sayin Great ending . But the Kid aint shown yet .

 

and the balloon........is empty.

 

oh no.

 

Lets Pray that Lil ****er is Hiding at Home skeered cause he let it go .

 

Indeed, yikes, now we have a missing kid "somewhere" in NE Colorado possibly badly injured or killed. Maybe he fell in the neighbor's pool.

 

i wonder if this was a publicity stunt for ABC's Wife Swap.

 

I would find that scenario Hard to believe.

The Longer it takes to Find this Kid the Bleaker the Out look
