Smile Gyro Flying Colorado Style

Trying out the GoPro HERO 2 mounted on the helmet. Flying with my good friend & flying buddy Mark Treidel with this nice warm weather...

Last time I went into Front Range was in 1988. It looks a lot different now than I remember. It and everything else has changed so much from what it was when I was growing up there.

I do miss the mountains.

Dick,

Is Doug Hayes still around there? Black guy that was an instructor at Colorado Aero Tech. I think he had a hangar there or had access to one. There one time and did some work on a C-150 he had.

Dick that was a great video, loved it.

I really must learn to put music with my vids, you did a great job and the music went really well with the flight. Also to get my camera up onto the helmet, or at least try some different positions.

Good job, nice flight, great country and thanks for sharing that with us.
