 “我們飛得很低。”Bansemer說，“我們飛越過一所小學，孩子們正在操場上遊戲，他(Michael)開始對著他們唱歌。孩子們當然不知道那是誰，誰會想得到“嘿，那是Michael Jackson!”還好氣球飛在足夠的高度，讓他不至於被認出來。

Hot balloon flight, October 1984

In 1962, Col. Joe Kittinger became the first man in space and he wasn't there long. He jumped out of a high-altitude balloon at 102,800 feet to became the first human to break the speed of sound without a vehicle. In 1984, he became the first person to cross the Atlantic solo in a hot air balloon. But there was a chapter left out of his legendary ballooning career. For several years, Kittinger was Michael Jackson's private pilot.

 

“We were flying fairly low,” Bansemer said, “and we flew over what looked like an elementary school with children playing in the playground, and he started to sing to them, and of course they had no idea who that was. Who would think, ‘Hey, that’s Michael Jackson?’ We were high enough that he wasn’t highly recognizable.”
