Wind out of the South today and a little choppy most of the day.. I did get in 2 flights with the Giant Whistler and 2 flights with my PT 25.
Phil flew his Electric PT a few times. Cliff and Ron flew there Tango's, Tom flew his Gyro Bee, nd Bob Flew a couple of his birds.

I took pictures but I forgot the cord to the computer.. Will have to wait I guess.

Jim

See you Friday Mick

Today waas another windy and Turbulence day. Several flew and a few landed with a scratch.

Awards today were: Peoples Choice was Dr. Rodrigus's Pitcairan PA 22. Beautiful Autogyro. He also had 3 other Gyro's but with the wind no Fly.
Largest was my Whistler's Gramma
Smallest Mickey's Begi
Best crash was Bob G.
Best new Idea was Mickey's Pre-Rotater
Best CD was Cliff M.

Hi All,

We had fun just by getting together and sharing a few laughs and a few crashes. Mick, I'm sorry that I crashed your gyro but I think that I learned something.

Jim, you did a great job writing all those awards down.

Jim, congratulations on another successful Fly-In, a real nice variety and types of good looking autogyros. Good pictures of the gyros on the ground and in flight.

Bernie

Now that Spring Hill is completed, time to start thinking about the next Fly-In,
week end after Labor Day, in the midwest. Try www.reza-it.biz/gyro.

Miss you this year Charlie.. Wind was from the South all the time and rotating off the trees. They could have used a North South Runway..
Haven't heard how the Old Timers event went.
