Humpty is based on a Lindstrand 90,000 cubic foot design.  With his arms and legs he holds 104,500 cubic feet of air, and the envelope weights 286 lbs. (120kg.)  When inflated he is over 7 stories of love and fun!  Humpty's basket holds 45 gallons of propane fuel in three stainless steel tanks, and three passengers can fly with the pilot.  Humpty can lift a maximum weight of 1600 lbs. (727 kg.), and the average temperature in the top of the envelope during flight is 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

In April of 1998, Humpty was adopted by Rich and Pat Lawhorn and now has 2 Sisters, Nikki and Lindsey.  Humpty is usually flown by Rich, who is also and airline pilot.  Rich has over 15,000 hours in aircraft flying around the world.

Humpty and the Lawhorns welcomed the Millennium in Melborne, Australia taking part in an event sponsored by the state of South Australia.  Springtime of 2000 found Rich and Humpty flying over the sheep shearing capital of the world Masterton, New Zealand.  Rich and Humpty were so enthused with the sheep that in August of 2001, they flew in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, where they were the top scoring special shape balloon.  They left their prize, a live sheep to the local orphanage.  These adventures are part of Rich's greater goal to fly on all seven continents as a hot air balloon pilot.
