Last little tweeks for my new Gyro Trailer!

Well at first I assumed it was Doug in the video, but it is me, Dave Bacon and someone else in a Sportcopter! It has to be you.
As for the Doug situation, I still think about it when I fly and wonder what the hell went wrong. I guess I will never know, but it sure was a shit sandwhich the way they handled that.

There was an older fellow, a surgeon somewhere in AZ, who was also there (flying a SC M-912), which had the SC fairing/partial enclosure. Mine didn't have the fairing, being a Lightning, like yours. You spoke of flying the "river" run w/ other gyros b/4 I arrived. Is that the gyro in the video?

 

[BEN S]

Yes, thats it.
Damn man getting older sucks. My memory sure aint what it used to be....

Keep forgetting to ask: Either of your two sprouts show interest in flying, whether gyros or "the dark side" of aviation?

 

[BEN S]

No...I guess thats a good thing, I dont have to worry about them?

Dave...Sorry to but in...but the last time you and I went flying was when Captain All In was at the controls of the "Flying Nissan" at Bensen Days. I never will forget that!

Dave the video file was corrupted from sitting in an AZ garage for 8 years.
Its not useable. I will see if I can get some pics off it for you.

That was some of the craziest flying I have ever done. I will never forget that.
