Old Air Command news video from 1989

Nice footage. I am constantly amazed at how many people, even pilots (who may also sometimes qualify as people) have absolutely no idea about gyrocopters. As proofed by this video and so many others, it isn't so much that gyros have been in hiding. Perhaps the ill-informed merely group them in with helicopters and move on to the important soap operas of the day.

She spoke Dutch, Animal because it was filmed in Holland, on Zeeland Airport.
The man being interviewed is Richard van As, the only CFI in the country. Well spotted mr. Fetters, you could even see a J2 in the background too and to please you even more there's even an Aircommand side by side with a BMW
r1100rs engine on, but that is in an other corner, so not visable.
I spend a great amount of time there, building flying and having a lot of fun.
Next time I have to shave myself if we get visitors like Linda and her
cameraman, so I look more decent.
She does a crashcourse every week on another subject, the fist one
was a gyrocopter course in the way we usually do, quite a few hours
on the glider (duo and solo) first, than the duo on the the Twinstarr.
I thought she was rather brave, not all girls her age or a lot of FW pilots
would just step in to a gyrocopter...
