Still, that is a cool shot and I envy you a little. I've taken lots of rides in lots of vehicles, but never a gyrocopter.

Well...let me tell you what you've missed....
You missed the "Motorcycle of the Air"....the Gyrocopter....
If you ever get a chance to go up in one...take it... As you can see, I'm a tall guy. I was slouching in that picture. I had to duck down to get behind that little windscreen. It was probably one of the top 3 things I've ever done. I loved it. I didn't have any instruments in the back seat but there was the stick and the throttle. I had fun. At one point, over the Mississippi River, I peeked over the pilot into the front seat to see the instruments. We were some 1500 feet over the river. It was AWESOME!!!
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Hell...If you gave me a choice between the girl I like and flight...I'd go running to the aircraft smiling like a little kid in a candy store.... (After maybe sneaking a solution to the other choice when you aren't looking....
)
The Air Show is coming back to that airport this summer...I can't wait. Last time they had the Air Show here I got all the Blue Angels Autographs, but, I missed the A-10 Warthog flights they had going on. I got the A-10 Pilot's autograph though. This summer, there is supposedly going to be a B-25, TBM Avenger, and L-3 coming along with all the usual awesome flight stuff.
I actually was looking into Flight School earlier today. (EXPENSIVE!!!!
And you thought car gas was bad...the cheapest fuel at my local airport is $5.34 a gallon. Plus the cost of training, insurance, the plane, space at the airport, etc...)There's a local college with a great Aviation program and I'm thinking that if the Air Force doesn't work for me I'll go to college and be a pilot. That, or the Army...

That why he's standing with his hands on his hips?
I always liked Spartan Armor. My favorite was the E.V.A Armor from Halo 3 and Halo Reach.
