Its incredible how a gasoline powered industrial fan and a piece of cloth tarp or canvas can make you fly up up and away. So brave

the fact that you can just strap a giant fan and a chair to your back and fly above clouds is insane.

This is top 5 one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen on KZfaq. Thanks for taking us along!

Stunningly, this is still 10,000 feet below the peak of Everest.

The fact that we live in an era in which a "regular" person can do this is amazing.

It is truly miraculous how he was able to go that high with two humongous balls of steel weighing him down like that

Thank god there are still people around today like you. You shine a torch for the rest of us. What courage. Chucky the inspiration. Love from the UK.

This is better than a wingsuit, flying a plan, skydiving and hang-gliding. As human beings, we are proud of you. We literally have dreams of flying like this.

Way to go! I am 72 and have filled up my bucket list. I’ve jumped, dived and traveled around the world. Live in up kids, your running out of time. Work hard, play hard, don’t hurt others. If you have no regrets when you get old, you did it right. Even death, is another adventure. Thanks world!

I was shaking inside the plane during my first ever flight and was so afraid to look down the window. This man sitting on a chair and flying 17500 feet is just incredible.

Superb!! As someone who is afraid of heights, thank you for this amazing perspective! Fantastic recording.

Gosh! That was so brilliant! Thank you for doing this cool and brave flight!

Just mad how casually he takes a ride from his back yard, to 17500 ft. Crazy.

The fact u went 17500feet and back without anything going wrong is crazy blows my mind watching this glad u recorded it and shared with the world

This is a magical thing, thank you for posting it. One of those videos i won't forget.

Thanks for letting us join you on that epic flight, so beautiful!

Imagine being in a cockpit of a plane and this guy appears right in front of you!!! Damn!!!

Makes you appreciate how gargantuan Everest is. It is 10k feet higher than he was. That's nuts!

This is insane. I was getting chills! You are a different breed! Thanks for sharing

Mr. Chucky, wright brothers must have felt pride over this valorous act. This is insane and I must say 🎉🎉 you are an amazing pilot.

He’s a natural, in front of the camera. It doesn’t feel like he’s alone.

“No planes around, everything looks good……” Man Radar is a beast.

Amazing. As i get older i start imagining more differences and so watching that and feeling the wind and cold air and all the differences, including the no floor under the feet and the slow decent, i was feelin it from your video man. Sick.

This was soo perfect !!!! This is one of my favourite youtube videos Thaks you for uploading man !!

this must be the closest thing to flying like Superman over the clouds. Super cool man.

you are literally sitting in a chair hanging from the sky!!

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Thank you God for your courage and willingness to share your passion with us homie.

AMAZING!! As I'm listening to the motor and watching the propellar!!! One of the coolest vids I've ever seen what an amazing milestone!! 🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely incredible dude, I can't imagine what that was like in person.

This helped me understand how deep the ocean really is.

The breathtaking scenery above the clouds is beyond words. It's unimaginable to fully grasp the sensation of being immersed in such a remarkable sight. Thank you for sharing👍💕

This was absolutely amazing - thank you for filming it!

As someone with a fear of heights I really cannot wrap my mind around how anyone can do this. Just watching this gives me anxiety!😦

Just imagine flying past him in an airplane. "Look everyone, there's a guy outside riding a fan."

Dang crazy man, thank you for giving me another adventure to learn and accomplish 👍👍

seeing this made me realize how much I take flight for granted. The greatest dream of humanity, and one man can do it with a parachute and a propeller! awesome video.

Casually rises to 17,500 feet above the clouds and lives to tell the tale. On top of recording it all! No one would've believed you if you didn't record! I'm jealous.

When you're old, like me, the memory of this experience will make your life richer. Awesome accomplishment dude.

nah this shit is too cool dude I would watch so many vids of this, you got a gift right here man it's like a superpower

I know that was a lot of work for you, but man it was worth it! That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! Great job!

Imagine going back and telling the Wright brothers that someone would be flying lawnmower engines hooked to a propeller with a parachute on your back to 17,000 feet. They would call you insane.

I’m impressed that engine had enough power to lift your gigantic balls off the ground! That was amazing! Thanks for sharing that video for the rest of us to enjoy.

That was incredible. Amazing ride to the sky👏👏👏 Proud of such people.

You should have over 1 million followers…..outstanding work and super inspirational!

Can you imagine being in a plane and looking out your window to see a guy waving at you from outside? My mind is blown!!!!

Wow! This tops anything I've ever seen on KZfaq when it comes to sheer nerve and determination.

I would say go again, but only just above the clouds, at 9,800 ft. Gorgeous scenery! 😱😎😍

That must of been one hell of an experience. Appreciate you sharing it with us.

And then there is me who can't even look down while standing on a 2 story building, this guy just touched the sky. Bravo 👏

17k feet with a lawnmower motor and cant have too much gazoline in that tank. This guy is definitely crazier than I am but it's even difficult to believe that this can be done. This guy deserves a medal for sure.

I’m just re watching your vid cos it’s awesome and it’s mad to think that at the end of the vid, seeing those clouds, that you were above them a few moments before, crazy! I wish I was brave enough to do similar, but I’m not!

Thank you for showing us all these beautiful scenes. Safe flying

Bro you got balls of steel!!! Huge respect ✊🏼

I fly jets for a living and I was getting acrophobia just watching you…you’ve got guts son.

Real work. You are a talented, courageous and still a humble human being my friend. Good luck and be safe

Third time watching this over the years. Incredible footage man.

And to imagine Mt Everest is over 29,000 ft tall, mind blowing!

He's still 11,528 feet beneath the peak of Mount Everest.. That is crazy!! Quite unfathomable how people summit that peak when you see this.

Absolutely Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I had a panic attack on my roof and would not do this for a million dollars but this is jaw-droppingly amazing, beautiful, and fascinating.

Takes a lot of heart to be that high up in the sky 😂

I'm gonna keep this in my hall of fame playlist. You deserve to be there. 😊

That was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I can't even imagine flying over the clouds like that.

Damn, you are literally one of the bravest people I have ever seen. To propel into the sky like that without showing any fear is simply beyond imagination. That's what I call living

I cannot believe how anyone can do this and remain so calm. Some angels on his shoulders ✨️

Watching this a year later and my nerves still bad😂😂watching you at this height. But your still hanging in there. Congrats. Be safe. 2024

Absolutely cannot believe you were doing this so calmly. 🤯 I would be freaking out lol… AMAZING.

So shocking to know you could fly that high with that simple equipment.

In 1982, Larry Walters aka "Lawnchair Larry" made headlines when he strapped weather balloons to a lawn chair from his back yard and rose to an altitude of 16,000 feet. Airline pilots coming in for a landing at Long Beach airport couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a guy sitting in a lawn chair at high altitude.

I think your completely out of your mind! My grandson and I enjoyed your video and are happy you made it to land without incident! ❤

That's an insane feat... you sure took 'reaching new heights' literally!

That was truly insane, and as an avid aviation enthusiast mainly commercial airliners, I love it. So cool and very brave.

An experience like that can be almost spiritual. Seeing how grand everything is makes you realize how small we really are. Glad you landed safely. Very cool.

Forcing myself to watch this to cure my fear of heights. It's only made it worse! You are the bravest man I've ever seen.

It feels so peaceful when you have a separate place to go above clouds in your own aircraft.

That took a lot of guts. You’ve accomplished something that a lot of people never will. It was a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.

That is an incredible feat flying a wing to over 17,000 feet and getting above the clouds while exposed to all the elements!! Exhilarating indeed!!

Amazing, courageous, beautiful. To God be the glory. Thank you!

This is a stunning film and my highest regards to you for sharing this with us.

This should be on "You wouldn't believe it unless it was filmed". That was so awesome!

Well this is one brave soul. What having no fear looks like. Sky’s the limit for this guy lol

That was insane! Thanks for inspiring an old man to try new things! Cheers from California 🍻

Congrats. What an amazinhg journey! I love it.

I don't know how this showed up in my recommendations, but I actually enjoyed it. Thank you Mr. Wright!

That was insane. And the cherry on top was how you were able to land exactly where you took off, I would have thought you flew to a different state lol

That looked absolutely amazing. I've always wanted to be able to do that, and maybe one day I'll get to. Definitely on my bucket list for sure. I'd definitely use that method of transit for quick grocery or liquor store runs, as it definitely beats sitting in traffic just to grab one or two items. I would definitely fly to a friend's house instead of taking a car and sitting in a parking lot of traffic. Awesome video.👍

@ChuckyWright you are in disbelief i am in awwww dam that was so cool. P.s I have just picked up paragliding. Long way to go to reach where you are but would definately hope to have a view like that once in my life time. You rock brother. and safe flights :)

When he made it to the clouds it looked so beautiful I wanted to cry. Almost divine being able to be so close to a cloud without being inside of a plane.

My hands got sweaty just watching this. I've gone skydiving from 17,500 feet so i know how scary and amazing this can be.. but your experience is unlike anything id dream of doing.

What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing this. That had to be a wild ride.

Ok, I’ll give this guy the “MONSTER BALLS” award for 2021! What he did is insane! Those who fly can better comprehend the courage (or stupidity lol) it took to complete such a feat. He didn’t have a safety crew, or safety escape plan, just raw courage. I love this video and the young man who created it. May God always keep you safe young brother.

The Mariana trench is more than 36,000 feet below sea level. What you see here at 17,500 feet is just about (almost) half of how deep the lowest point of the ocean is. Insane.

Wild you are surely Blessed ...I can only emagine what it feels like to float at 17.5 ooo feet wow buddy !!!

Yo this is the 🥇 rst video I've ever seen of yours; bc I was searching for"veylon" like... Paragliding cars they make? Have you heard of that? But either way I want to do that, or THIS, SO bad.!! When you were going literally above the clouds and talking about it so happily that just made my day man! This is crazy and I want to learn more about it , I've been wanting to get a pilots license y'know just for small 2-6 seat craft, but I haven't even started... But this seems maybe easier (as in also cheaper?) And also maybe more dangerous... Which as a recovering heroin addict coming up on a year clean might be just the death defyng new habit I need 😁 Thanks again, much. Love from Philadelphia

Holy crap that was amazing! My anxiety is through the roof- but imagine being on a plane and passing by someone in the air like this 😂💀

This is just awesome! How many of us can say we've flown to 17,500 feet on a lawn chair strapped to a shop fan? Just NUTS!

What a breathtaking experience! Thanks for sharing this.

Well done on both the flight and getting back down safely!

My first jump in Vietnam was from 2200 feet. I was so scared that I couldn't even spit. My next jump seemed routine. My lowest jump was 850 feet, which kind of worried me if the chute would open, but it did without hesitation. My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.
