Jonathan Trappe’s flights in his cluster-balloon craft have captured the hearts and imaginations of aviators; and just about everyone else. He now plans to launch his unique aircraft from the East Coast and ride the prevailing winds across the Atlantic – hopefully to Paris, but his final destination could end up being anywhere in Europe or even Africa.
In the past, Trappe has flown across Lake Michigan (launching from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh), the English Channel in May 2010 and the Alps in September 2011, taking off from France and landing in Italy.
