@mlanger@mastodon.world @Bredroll@mas.to did you ever hear of Wing Commander Ken Wallis? He was really into his autogyro's & was flying them into his 90's.

@Rob_l@mas.to @Bredroll@mas.to No, I have not. I learned to fly the Gyro when I was based at an airport in California for Frost control season and had a lot of free time during the day. I made friends with the gyro's owner, who was also a helicopter pilot, and swapped him flight time in my helicopter for training in the Gyro. I don't think I got more than 10 hours, but I did solo and that's what the photo is. I think his Gyro was pretty cool and I loved flying low and slow in the open cockpit.
