Gosh, Phil! That has to be $500 worth of crab-legs!...at least by California prices. I hesitated to move to Charlotte because of Ron living in the area ;), but now I have an incentive to be able to make your fly-in every year.
 
hope good weather

hope good weather

Scott,

You can admit it, you are filling in the holes left by the mother ship from planet zingo..... the photo proves it !
 
Yea Ken, When Mary feeds people she feeds them.....That is only part of the feast, we had a mess O shrimp also with all the trimings. Plus Mary's special dipping sauce. It was too good for words.

Left my camera at Scott's so I will try to post some more photos tomorrow.

Had a right nice turn out today. I think about 9 or 10 flying and one static. Those that didn't come, you missed some of the best flying weather that's been around here for some time.

Ron A., Scott, Screw and a few others brought cameras, I'm sure they will post a few also.

Later, Phil

Phil someone had to do the dirty work and test the air to see if it was flyable
Jonathan now that you metion it those were strange looking depression's in the runway :confused:
:cool: Greg
 
More Photo's - some of the kids

1- John's kid getting a ride with Dan Leslie
2- One of Chris' kids getting a ride.
3- Chris' other kid getting ready for a ride
4- Chris' other kid's ride getting called off because steering cable broke. Greg taking off her head gear. Sad day indeed.

When Dan's steering cable broke it broke that little girls heart that she wasn't going to get a ride.
Because someone said that's all for the day, but they didn't realize they were in the land of Scott'sville, where no gyro goes unrepaired.

We got it back together and she got her flight after all.

I guess at the lab they kept loosing the test samples your were taking because you kept testing and testing and testing and............. :rolleyes:
 
I have over 140 pictures to download. I am working on it as we speak... I mean type. I will start a new thread for mine.
 
I just want to say that it was an honor flying with the "gang" at Scotts' and a very special THANK YOU to Scott (the man) and the lovely Mary (Mama Gyro) for being perfect hosts'. A few more years and it will be like Sun n Fun !!

Thanks to all and it was a pleasure meeting ya"ll !



Barry (Ron didn't fall asleep once on the way home!!!!!!!!) K

Sounds like a Great Time. Dan thanks for getting the youth involved thats our future for sure. Ron Remember you will always need ROOM FOR ERROR. Accidents are just that. Dont get to daredevil on us. We need you to guide the newbie. Sorry we missed this great fly-in. MJ :)
 
The gap it trees isn't that small.
 
Yeah, the gap was not too bad.... Greg and Steve did it first, THEY were the poor role models! ;) Phil just took my pic cause I did it with the most style! :)
 
Hey, A great BIG thanks to Scott and Mary for allowing all of us to decend onto their place for a weekend of fun flying. It was great seeing all of you again and meeting Barry K. and Stuart. It is more fun flying with other Gyros than hanging out with the FW guys. Mary indured the Wilson kids with all the energy that they have.

When we left yesterday evening the girls where crashed out before we got to the gas station. I think they had some fun.

Thanks again for a GREAT weekend!!!!

Fly Safe,
Chris
 
I want to thank everyone for coming out, We had a great turnout and alot of fun! Mary and I are Dog Tired! But we had a great time and really enjoyed sharing our place with everyone. I have alot of pictures to post, I'll work on that this afternoon, and see how many I can get posted.

Can't wait till next year!!!!
