No update from GE site now for 3 days! (even on message page!)

From a recent article in the GAPAN 'Guild News'
His “Expedition Global Eagle” record attempt began on 26 April and he has travelled up to six hours a day in the gyroplane, which is much like riding a motorcycle in the sky. It feels safe and stable and in the unlikely event of an engine failure it is easy to land.
Two things here,

1. "Like riding a motorcycle in the sky, Whoops!



I hope Barrys landings are better than Evels, even if less impressive!!!!

2. Anyone want to see the video of a crashing, sorry, easy landing of Ken Wallis in Belfast after a reported engine failure?


p.s. If you are organising a wedding reception and the entertainment you have to choose from is between a golfer and an animator, remember......

Bing sings and Walt Disney!.

Your opinion of me is none of my business.
