Default PRA President wisely taxiing back

Here is a pic i took with my phone of our president Adam H. A huge front was approaching and he thought he might get just one more in.... well he wisely decided not to test out the new PRA 18 gyro in a micro burst! LOL enjoy!

Ahhh the memories of living in the midwest, just a tornado or two and I would feel like I was back home in central Indiana...... at least the humidity wouldn't last as long as it does here in Ga,!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I remember correctly the sun was shining and every time Adam would taxi out these clouds would appear. Did we ever find the source of that deep, booming voice?

Yes that looks like the club gyro. It has a red tail. Adam and Nicks gyro has a blue tail.

Jury is still out on the finger. No feeling in it yet but the doctor thinks it still has a chance to make it. Dr. said he could transplant a nerve to restore some feeling at a later date.

Adam's finger appears to be with him for good. Adam is flying again.
