Flying high
Steve Fossett, Washington University trustee and alumnus, ascended from Greeley, Colo., at 9 p.m. Nov. 5 and guided his helium hot air balloon to 24,000 feet to test the effects of altitude on the burner, autopilot and new cabin heater system in preparation for his round-the-world attempt this winter. He landed early the next morning in a Kansas wheat field after a successful test flight. Washington University will serve as Mission Control for Fossett's flight. Photo by John Blake.
