Nice pic"s Greg. I had a great time and enjoyed being around all you happy face gyro guy's. Upscale!? My R.V. was there so that makes it more like a trailer park in an opressed area!! :)

3 Ultrawhite's Trez (Greg Spicola), Ernie, Joe Pires
2 Dominators Scott Lewis and Jim Hay's although i dont think i ever saw Jim.
1 2 place Dominator Dave Seace
Jakes Junk'n stuff JaKe
Junkyard Wars Jim from key west
RAF Pat Mcnear
Soma JR Brown
Laura Pires Buckeye Dream Machine PPC
Roy flew in with two different yellow sea planes.

People were the above plus, Sherry and Herbie Lewis , Shannon, Ron and Casey or KC Awad,Connie Boyette, Trez's and his wife, Shirley and Dave McComber, Ora and Mrs. Cook, Rick Martin, Mike Cummings and his wife, J.R's ex wife Connie and Kyle.

I think thats most of us.

Next year (2008) is the first year of the rest of my life !

One of my resolutions for the new year is to become a member of Sunstate and go to all the gyro fly-in's east of the Mississippi, including some fixed wing gatherings as well.

I am glad to have started my "gyroing" adventure under the influence of the Wauchula gang. They are the most up-beat people I have ever associated with.

If it hadn't been for the CLT, horizontal stabilized Dominator, I would have NEVER seriously considered owning or flying a gyroplane. Only now do I know and realize what I have missed all these years.

I will see all you folks frequently in 2008, if you can stand it. !
 
This was a great flyin for me, not only did Connie decide to come to a flyin, but she got a ride with Dave and loved it. She said it was the best time she ever had. I just wish she had stepped into this world years ago. BTW she wants to come to all the fly-in's. Thanks to everyone for makin her feel welcome.
