Beautiful sight. A gyro soaring through the sunshine.

It was very foggy Friday and Saturday mornings.

It was cool to see the DC-3 appearing out of the fog as if it was ghost riding through the sky..

This was my pet tree frog for the weekend. When I found him he did not even jump to try to get away. He just rode my hand or arm or sholder as I walked around in the fog. Later I put him on the tent roof and he hug out there until it was time to take the tent down. Then I took him to the big trees near the flight line. He never tried to jump away once.

Cool RAF Trailer

I was sincerely hoping someone was going to put some rotors on this and take me for a ride :D :D

Lots of gyro pilots are dog owners. These must be owned by ultralight gyro pilots.

R44 was a frequent visior.

Tim................... I didn't know you had that much of a attachment to the frog on my tent! did you see the frogs in the shower? They were grey to kind of blend in.

In the pic of my plane you may notice the prop is missing half of itself. I flew it hard every morning and somehow seemed to bust something on it before parking it each day. The last flight it took I somehow lost the radio crystal out of the plane and it went out of control and nearly took out Dave Prater and Gary Goldsberry.

That last pic of me and Doug Riley was cool. I can't remember why I was running in that pic???

Just a thought,
The frog is definitely cool.

[barnstorm2]

Thats great Dave! :D :D

Frog was cool.

Up here in Ohio they jump away before you even get near them. This little guy seemed to like to just hang out and watch the gyros. He was not comatose he was always looking around.

Maybe he wanted a ride on Rons R/C plane? :eek:
