    We have seen this person flying another time always over or near Matthews Road.

    This thing is very cool but WOW it's like flying with (ONLY) a wing and a prayer.

    My younger cousin for awhile had one of those 'experimental' home-built airplanes. No radar, no radio and few instruments. Yikes! He said he could take-off wearing a short-sleeved shirt and need a coat by the time he reached 10,000 feet. That's bit too daring for my tastes!

    Anyone ever seen the hot air balloon over Benson on occasion? Usually at sunset, you'll see it over near the I-40/I-95 interchange.

    We saw him land in the open field there on Matthews yesterday around 5:30. Second time we have seen him flying in the air.
