Bobby Bradley is 9 years old boy. He is famous for his great feat. The boy is the youngest who flew solo in a hot air balloon. Bobby loves air balloons. He has been flying in them for more than half of his life with his parents and other famous pilots. His mother and father are licensed pilots. They won the America's Challenge Gas Balloon Race which is one of the country's biggest event in balloon racing. Bobby is too young to get his pilot's licence so his family and friends constructed the smaller balloon for him. This made his solo flight possible. The flight lasted 26 minutes. More than 50 friends and family members gathered to watch Bobbie's performance. He took off and landed in a perfect way. When he got off his gondola, he was doused with non- alcoholic champage by cheering crowd. His parents were very proud of him.
