Julian Nott (balloonist)

Julian Nott is a British balloonist best known for his achievements in record-setting exploits. Nott has 79 World ballooning Records and 96 British aviation records.

He has also demonstrated the possibility that the Nazca Lines geoglyphs might have been drawn with guidance from Nazca culture tribal leaders as long as two millennia ago, aloft in what could have been the earliest hot air balloon flights in human history. [http://www.nott.com/Pages/projects.php]
