Falcon Heene


The famous one. Falcon Heene has always had a desire to follow his destiny. Falcons are born to fly. And so he did. Falcon gained international acclaim when he supposedly took flight in his father's helium balloon. Flying over the heads of Coloradans (sp?) for almost two hours, only to safely land a few towns away.
But shock occured as authorities couldn't find him in the vessel! Had Falcon taken to the air one last time in an effort to escape? Had Falcon broken the chains of his nest and taken to the air?
No. He turned out to just be hiding in the attic, where no one cared to look for him.
It also may or may not have been a publicity stunt.
But people can't blame him for that... Falcons were meant to fly free. Free of these "stunts" and "chains" and "truths."
Falcon Heene. Soaring through America's heart like the balloon that did not carry him.
