We're Going to Fly High

On a crisp early morning in 2012, eleven people boarded a hot air balloon in New Zealand's Wairarapa district for what should have been an idyllic flight. Less than an hour later, that flight became the deadliest ballooning disaster ever to occur in New Zealand's history. Chrisjan Jordaan and his girlfriend Alexis, were among the passengers. As his family and friends reeled from the news, Chrisjan's life and legacy became a source of inspiration and motivation to many.
From his roots in South Africa, to the farming communities of Gore, to his student days at Southland Boy's High School and later in Wellington, We're Going to Fly High tells of a young man full of faith and adventure whose character, courage and passion continues to impact another generation.
