A

nyone who has been to either San Francisco

or Leader, Sask., knows the two municipal-

ities are not alike. But when your mode of

transportation is a balloon, you go where

the wind takes you. Businessman and adventurer

Steve Fossett discovered the vagaries of the breezes

on this day in 1995, when he became the first person

to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean in a balloon. Fos-

sett had set out four days earlier from Seoul, South

Korea, in a state-of-the-art hot-air balloon, which

floated eastward with the jet stream. His balloon was

emblazoned with the words Seoul to San Francisco,

his hoped-for destination. It was a rough trip. Fos-

sett, in a gondola about the size of a compact car,

used an oxygen mask at high altitude, slept in three-

hour stretches and endured bitterly cold temper-

atures. Finally, after more than 8,700 kilometres, the

exhausted Chicago native and his 45-metre-tall bal-

loon landed softly in a farmer’s muddy field near

Leader (population less than 1,000), which is about

350 km east of Calgary, 1,000 km east of the Pacific

Ocean and whose previous claim to fame was being

the only known Saskatchewan habitat for the rare

Ord’s kangaroo rat.PHILIPKING
