Default 550 gyro hours in 12 months
Last year I thought it would be cool to do over 400 gyro hours in one year. I was reviewing my log book tonight and suddenly saw I had done better then that over 550 in about 11 1/2 months. I must like flying Gyro. I only flew about 70 in my fixed wing last year. Can't wait to do Mentone!

Best of all I have met so many awsome people along the way!

I have been wanting to say this for a while. In Alaska they sell Polished Moose turd everything, even earings!
