FRIDAY SURPRISE: I want, I want, I want!

Friday, July 16, 2010 Filed in: Friday Surprise!, Things I like

I mentioned that last weekend I was on the range for a defensive rifle class. The range is not too far from a small airport, and it's common to see all kinds of interesting aircraft fly overhead.

The students were preparing to shoot another drill when an autogyro passed overhead. I had to stop and watch it disappear behind the hills, because as a kid I was entranced by this movie:



Ever since then I've wanted an autogyro. It's not practical, but neither are 1911 pistols (that one's for you, Tommy.) I'm not sure what attracts me to the little machines, other than they're cheaper than a real aircraft and a lot more maneuverable than your average ultralight.

I also know that it wouldn't make me as debonaire as James Bond, but I could use all the help I can get!
