Bit of history on pic #8,the Gazelle XW846; It started as a trials a/c,and I first flew it in Jan `76 at AAEE. Did performance,handling,Nitesun,para-drop and free-fall trials,spent the winter of `76 in Canada doing snow and icing trials,skis,lots of `manual -forces` in icing and snow and combinations;then back for more comparative performance,I/R,and EOLs. My last Gazelle trip was in `846`,23 Dec `76,so it`s nice to see her still flying(or whenever the piccy was taken)..Thanks,Syc..
