Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
That some 61-year-old postal worker from Tampa was able to penetrate a no-fly zone and land a gyrocopter at the US Capitol building without even being challenged just goes to show how totally vulnerable we are to terrorist ******. :eek:
I say he is crazy because anyone who flies a gyrocopter has a death wish....it's the most dangerous type of home-built sub-LSA type aircraft you can fly. If the main rotor engine fails, unlike a helicopter, a gyrocopter cannot autorotate to the ground....it just drops like a fucking rock. Not many pilots are crazy enough to fly one of these but this guy definitely qualifies....in more ways than one. It will be interesting to see what the authorities end up doing with him.
