How'd you like to fly through one of these clouds? Would you need an instrument rating?

Francisco Guerra, who's also a former magician, developed a machine that produces tiny bubbles filled with air and a little helium, forms the foam into shapes and pumps them into the sky.
Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta, said she had not dealt with the company before but it appears Flogos would fall under FAA rules pertaining to events like balloon launches. She said a local FAA office would need to be contacted before a Flogo launch so that pilots could be notified about it.
