Well "captures" may be a little strong, (my enhanced story in parenthesis)but let me explain.
I was enjoying a nice afternoon of (life threatening)gyro flying the other day. While flying(and monitoring all the criminal activity in the City of Corona below me), I found (what appeared to be a possible felony crime in progress) a car parked in the hills. I was over the top of a steep canyon on the border of town(known for hiding bandits, druggies and crime syndicates). The car was well hidden under (a possible pirate or terrorist bunker)from observation other than by directly flying over the top of it(and being exposed to live ground fire). I noticed this new SUV parked a mile(probably loaded with explosives and drugs) from any paved road. Following FAA minimum height restrictions, as always, ( I engaged the car in a strafing run using advanced flight skills and maneuvers never before seen in public and ) I observed that no one was around and it appeared stuck in the mud (probably from the pursuit I had just given it and the explosion of my surface to air missile ).
I flew back (to headquarters) the hanger I share with Corona P.D.'s helicopter. I informed (the commanding officer in charge of secret intelligence),the helicopter observer of the (heinous) crime that was taking place within his jurisdiction. I relayed the location of my find( using CIA tracking equipment and he immediately mobilized the unit air wing for a strike attack) and went out in the scout BELL 407, for closer observation. I then went off duty, put (my turbine powered)gyro back in the hanger(after reloading all expended ammunition) and closed the hanger.
I had to stop by the hanger(headquarters) today. I was informed (by the commander) flight observer that it had been in fact a recently stolen car and that they had recovered it(after a full scale gun battle). I was awarded (the metal of valor) a set of plastic wings given (limited to only the bravest) to school kids. Another public relations Coup for the gyro community!
Corona (is now been declared safe to walk in by women and children at night, free of the criminal element) aero bureau has one more stolen vehicle recovery to add. So what did the rest of you do (to keep the criminal scourge at bay )with your gyro this weekend?
