Paul,
I've already made all reservations to attend Bensen Days and a couple
of days at Sun n Fun. Although I've never met Gary Buster in person,
we've conversed by email, and in fact, I'm responsible for getting him
here on ACRE ! I felt like we needed a voice from the Gyro community,
and Gary has done a really good job of representing the Rotary Wing
community.
Sadly, I should mention that Igor Bensen passed away on February 10,
2000 and there are plans to honor him at the Bensen Days fly-in this
year. He was another Aviation pioneer, that made it possible for many
people to enjoy the sport of aviation, in a way that was unknown before
his efforts ! His Gyrocopter, was his dream of allowing the average guy
to feel the sensation of flight, up close and personal ! And he
succeeded admirably !
George
I will be there again this year so I will try to contact you and Gary.
