We're Going to Fly High

Chrisjan Jordaan's life, love and lasting legacy and the fatal flight that rocked a nation

About this book

"Chrisjan was the most motivated person you could ever meet always on the go achieving something every day.'' - Jan and Annie Jordaan Otago Daily Times "The worst New Zealand aviation disaster since the Erebus disaster in 1979." - New Zealand Herald "It's a small tight-knit community. It's very tragic for New Zealand but for a little community like ours it hits home." - Ron Mark Carterton Mayor (2010-2014) 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.
