He has a government job so, no.

The Secret Service is looking forward to using the Gyro to fly in prostitutes so, no.

I'd like one of those to shoot hogs.

Kinda hard to fly and shoot, and watch the empties so they don't go into that rear prop though... wink

Actually these gyros can be flown both hands off. They're pretty stable. Now flying, shooting and providing us with the all-important video might be a trick so mount the camera on the rifle. Do NOT forget to post it so I can live vicariously here in the no pig zone.

Autogyros have been around a long time. The word "Contraption" comes to mind...

Here's an Idea, post something on your own, instead of just sitting back and making stupid remarks about someone else.
Phil

There's no need to get your panties in a wad just because you posted misinformation and it was pointed out.

It's really not hard to look things up when you're already connected to the greatest source of information ever known to humans

It only takes a second to do a search for the truth

I don't see a place on them for a co-pilot or instructor. Wonder how many people crash on their first flight ???

This stuff is funny. Can't believe a guy flys a bicycle two hours to the capital lawn and nobody intercepts. He even makes a professionally produced video and posts it on social media. I'm sure ISIS is getting some ideas. Sure makes a bunch of LE agencies and NORAD look kinda stupid. Who the Hell is protecting us?

Nobody is protecting us, hell they can't even protect themselves from an elderly mail carrier with a homemade kit copter. Sleep sound tonight boys and girls it's amateur hour.

Disgruntled postal worker? Is the flag flying at half staff at the post office today? Was the SS giving 0's daughter driving lessons at the time? What's keeping a terrorist from strapping 200 lbs. of C-4 to one of these things and ramming the Whitey House?

He had a letter for every congressman. He was making a statement. He stated it was a act of civil disobedience. He was from florida, he towed it to Gettysburg and flew it to DC. he said it took about an hour.

People were talking about making an example out of him today, that and all the talk about him being lucky they didn't shoot him out of the sky...

Don't know for what, wasn't a threat and didn't try and pretend of being a threat. Broad day light, out in the open clearly quite a distance from everything. Broke some laws flying into some restricted air space, but other than that can't see them charging him with anything else. Private citizen, making a political statement, with no intent of getting anyone hurt.

Was an embarrassment though I guess!

CNN said he Flew under the RADAR, no chit really. CG Military District Washington needs to be fired.

When I worked for the Army as a civilian, I was national manager for the HALO parachute. A High Altitude Low Opening parachute. The entire system is designed for a person to exit an aircraft above 35000 ft altitude from a standoff mode and coast up to 35 miles or more and open about 2500 ft.

The next thing is for someone to parachute to the White House and blow themselves up.

Everyone has the right to peacefully protest their own government in America. I say give the guy his 15 minutes of fame and return his gyrocopter. Jimmy Carter's daughter used to get away with her stupid crap all the time just by saying she was peacefully protesting. Let the guy go and let him deliver his mail.
