Just a big pile of photos from ROTR. I have not had time to edit or organize these.

Also I will post one or two and a link to the rest as I am too lazy to post them all.

Michael- You, Doug, Kevin, and others out west just simply ROCK. Thanks for all you guys do to have 100% positive experiences and chat that follows. Its a breath of fresh air that needs to sweep clear to the Atlantic ocean. Looking forward to your positive input to Mentone. Stan

Thanks Stan, It is truly a fun event for me any time I am around gyros and other gyro pilots. This year was fantastic as we got two people rated, 5 gyro condition inspections and one gyro an airworthiness inspection. A flight to Ogden for breakfast was nice and two big dinner events. Plus I won an eye-pad.

Besides meeting and talking to many old friends, I got to know many new friends. It's hard to get better than that... but it did. There were just way too many great things that happened to start trying to name them all, but one of the highlights for me was gettign to take a flight with Desmon Butts in his MTO Sport. I won't go into all the details her but the flight included mountain flying, coming over a ridge at a lower altitude than I am used to flying at and then spiraling around and doing a vertical descent down this 1,000 ft rock cliff complete with several waterfalls. It was the most spectacular flight of my life (so far). Desmon is a great instructor whom I would highly recommend to anyone, and his MTO Sport is a lot of fun to fly in. It had no trouble climbing well even with my large frame parked in the front seat. What a rush!!!

John I am glad you added your pictures. I managed to run my batteries down and did not get pictures of the dinner at Madox. See you in Mentone.

WE are blessed!

WE are blessed!

....to have a CFI of Desmon's calibre & availability to travel to teach. :first:
I know just the kind of flight you won't detail here but after watching Glenn's videos ( several times... - Bewdy Glenn!) I can imagine the awesome mountain flying you enjoyed..... I am SO envious now!!
glad you got to experience the MTO Sport --- going to be hard to enjoy any other 2 seater after the MTO experience!

Well back to getting OZ'rora ready to go practise balancing & farmwork.... make some hay!!!
Cheers

Chris and Jim----- You two are farm people, just like myself. Just wait till you are flying out over your farm, not having to ask permission everytime you want to fly. It will be a priceless experience for you two.
