NM boy, 9, becomes youngest to fly balloon solo

A 9-year-old boy has lifted off from a desolate patch of central New Mexico and floated into history. Bobby Bradley became the youngest trained pilot to fly solo in a hot air balloon early Saturday morning in Tome. He took off in the company of three other balloons, whose pilots included a designated balloon examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration. A crowd of about 50 supporters, including family, friends and classmates, cheered as they took off.
