XeRoiX Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 David Blaine is ready for takeoff. With final approval from the Federal Aviation Administration issued Tuesday, the magician can soar into the sky above Page, Arizona, on Wednesday morning with the help of a couple dozen helium-filled weather balloons. And as he floats, he plans to livestream his view on YouTube for viewers around the world. The balloon rig, which had to be classified as an experimental aircraft by the FAA, has an airworthiness certificate, the FAA confirmed to The Arizona Republic on Tuesday. In a statement to The Republic, the agency said, "The FAA is working closely with David Blaine and his team to ensure that the proposed flight meets all regulatory requirements. ... The FAA will closely monitor the flight and will provide air traffic services as needed." 2 Quote
