Man has always had a desire to fly. Creations like the plane, balloon, and blimp have come from this desire to fly like a bird, but most of these creations don't allow people to really get a bird's eye view of the world. A new invention from an Arizona man may offer people the chance to really look and feel like a bird.

Man has always had a desire to fly. Creations like the plane, balloon, and blimp have come from this desire to fly like a bird, but most of these creations don't allow people to really get a bird's eye view of the world. A new invention from an Arizona man may offer people the chance to really look and feel like a bird.

Harry Timmons of Phoenix, Arizona has come up with a creative and highly sought after invention. He has designed a floating observation deck that is made completely out of replacement windows.

"The replacement windows allow the people on the observation deck to really feel like a bird", explained Harry Timmons. "These windows allow a person to look down and truly feel as if they are flying because they can see everything below them."

Harry Timmons created the observation deck, which can hold up to 15 people at a time, in an effort to help people get the best views of a landmark or area. The observation deck is suspended by a wiring system that takes the deck out above the landmarks providing a full view of the entire area.

The replacement windows have been sealed with a waterproof sealant. Safety is enforced by having the replacement windows secured with bolts of steel. These same bolts are similar to the kind used to keep the Space Needle standing.

"The first place I thought of to launch my new observation deck made out of replacement windows was the Seattle area", explained Timmons. "I just think the beautiful mountains, lush forest greenery, and mysterious Puget Sound makes it a great place to start."

The prototype for the observation deck has been tried out in the Puget Sound area, but the company that purchased it is awaiting approval from the city council. Attractions of this nature require the approval of the city council before they can be opened to the public.

"We had a few trial runs with several people and they were amazed", said Timmons. "These people just loved it. We even had a photographer who said that he would come up here multiple times to take amazing photographs."

The approval from the city council may come sometime this spring. A safety inspection will be required and if all goes well the observation deck could be open as early as next summer. It would be the first of its kind in the United States.
