Wing Cmndr Wallis at Mentone 2009 ?

[gyroplanes]

I spoke with Ken today and he said he was uncertain if he could make the 2009 convention in August. Ken said he would call me back after he checks his schedule. Ken just turned 93 recently and say's he's still flying and in good health.

Tom, thanks for helping with this. I for one would like to hear him give a talk again on his career.

It would be great to have him there but at 93 I'm sure traveling is something he's not so fond of anymore.

If he's there, I'm there for sure!!!!

If he's there, I'm there for sure!!!!

I think if he was coming it would boost attendance for sure.

Here is a scan of a letter I goot from Cmndr Ken Wallis today. I mentioned in my letter to him that the last time we met was at Hofstra University for the wonderful autogyro seminar hosted by Bruce Charnov.

Hey Tom, How much you want for the letter? :D

[GyroRon]

Oh well..... I think I am still coming. Plan to still have a great time. Can't wait for August.

[Gyropilot007]

Darn, I would have really liked to have met him. Well, maybe next year!!! Thanks for sharing that letter with us. It was really great.
