One Born Every Minute !
Fionn101,
First reaction ?......."I'm seeing this - but I don't really believe it - it's all done with smoke and mirrors ! Has gravity been suspended, then ?
(just the same when I saw my first Harrier do its stuff!)
Fly in one ?......Good God, NO ! (still don't believe it). But if I were a few years younger, and could get it past the Boss, would love to have a go with those gyrocopter things. They look great fun.
Old Post re-hashed:
Farmer goes to see Wg Cdr Ken Wallis (RIP):
"That's a clever idea - just what I need to do a bit of spraying small areas - how much would one cost ?"
Wallis:
"Well, it might be possible, but we'd have to modify the basic design, it wouldn't be cheap". Anyway, how much flying experience have you got ?"
Farmer:
"Well none, actually - but I should be able to pick it up over a weekend !"
Danny.
