American daredevil Jonathan Trappe took these stunning images as he flew a cluster of balloon 18,000 feet above Mexico. The adventurer, who made history by floating over the English Channel dangling from balloons in May, did his latest stunt to celebrate the Mexican bicentennial. He took off in the craft made up of the Mexican flag colours while at the Festival International Del Globo 2010 earlier this month. Trappe, 37, controlled his altitude by releasing air in his durbable high performance balloons, reaching speeds of 18-50 mph. Jonathan and his ten ground support crew travelled an astonishing 100 miles from Leon to Colorado in Mexico. He captured these stunning images from a balloon-mounted camera as he made the journey. Dressed in protective sunglasses and a pair of bluejeans, Trappe called the journey ‘outstanding’ and said he was ‘wonderfully inspired’ by his trip.
