We should start a donation thing to help with a fine if he gets slugged with one? At BD, should put a donation jar or jars around and torment people.... I mean, ask people to donate $5 each.... even some change I'll be in it

So how long has it been since a gyrocopter landed on the white house lawn?

Didn't Pitcairn do so....what about Bensen?............IMO this had perfect timing!

At least it is not without precedent.

If the polecats don't listen what do u suppose it WILL take before they do?



Let's hope landing a gyro with mail is a good start.............

OORAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here it is..............Capitol grounds Washington D.C. landing.

Gyrocfi,

will you please edit the header to show the correct landing site?

It was not the White House lawn, it was Capitol.

Cheers
Erik

Edit: Oops, I stand corrected. I've been informed the Capitol share lawns with the White House.
Sorry about that. The only time I've been there, I didn't get the Tourist tour. (even if I could, I wouldn't dare
go to the US anymore. Too many lawyers, I saw what happened to the Danish guy in a Kindergarten. Framed)

Unfortuonitly things don't work that way .
He has made a lot of people high up in this fucked up government look really really bad .
He has made them look incompetent .
And these people don't like looking incompetent .
So to avoid having every swinging dick with an EXPERIMENTAL aircraft trying to copy this stunt they are going to take a really really close look at all of us .
And I personally don't like the government looking at me, especially really really closely.
They are going to be thinking WHY DO WE LET THESE PEOPLE FLY !?!?!?!?!?
This is going to open the proverbial PANDORA'S BOX.
This is in no way good for us !!!!!
He has just set them free to regulate the shit out of us .
And what if he had a GUN !?!?!?!?!?
This is all playing right into their big Big BIG government plans .
Gabor said that he was a dig Oboma lover . Well what if they put him up to this or at least allowed him to follow through with this stunt .
He is not a hero, brave, ballsy or a patriot .
He is a misguided fool.
There is a big differeace in being ballsy and being stupid . I'm an expert on stupid so I should know.
He has just proven to the American big Big BIG government people that the American people can't be trusted with aircraft and if they can't be trusted with aircraft. WHAT ELL'S CAN'T THEY BE TRUSTED WITH ?!?!?!?!?!
Doug Hughes did no one in EXPERIMENTAL aviation or general aviation any favors.

Gary,
I disagree to a point...As u have some insider knowledge that gives you the opinion u have expressed

however so have I been exposed to inside gov circles at one time in my life and have had extensive
law enforcement interactions....from both sides of that fence and Doug is ballsy
Maybe...just maybe you feel he did no favors to the gyro community is valid...it remains to be seen what they will do to him or us in general.

And yes I agree they (THE PTB) can and do act out and do tyrannical shit and it is possible they will
try to regulate or f with gyro ppl but who cares in the end.

I for one give little shit what they do that is out of line any more...... it is inevitable what will be will be.

I've considered whether or not to go to Bensen Days now and be recorded, documented and bagged
for inclusion on a list somewhere. I don't like being scrutinized either and actively try and thwart those kinds of efforts against me when it does occur....local or federal.

I respect the laws and don't respect those who make the rules and then live by a different standard then expected of me.

Doug ......tried to make a statement they couldn't ignore and I think he accomplished that.

Like I posted...not the first gyro to land there......first time it was a media sensation....this time it was too

but with a eye on criticism and foul play by one man trying to wake up the populace and congress saying enough is enough.!!

R u going to Bensen Days??? I hear that's where all the new faces are along with the tv news sat. trucks.

Now that's scrutiny!!! Either way I hear ya.....just see it differently in some respects.

Carry On!!!

I worry for Mr. Hughes and the sport.
You can be sure that every nut case in the world
is watching this one.

Video from here ...

Along with some interesting comments about selling gyros

.

I say a gyro can't hover....not in a helicopternautical term! Ha. All my four gyros " appeared" to hover quite often...but I always knew I wasn't hovering , but just flying into the wind and not moving . Remove the wind and the ground will smight thee.

I'm watching

That bomb would be illegal.... it has no stamps on it?

As u can tell that is oboozo flying....he's used to going it alone and doing illegal shit.

Where can I READ THE LETTER Doug was DELIVERING ??!!!!!

fickingly,

fj

So who is claiming Obama is strictly following the laws?
He has threatened agents if they follow immigration law!!!!!!!!

ME Two - too- to

Heroes don't use someone else to commit their deeds.
Terrorists do! Liberal fuckers do!
If he was a ballsy guy he wouldn't have done a video placing our club that he wasn't even a member of in this situation where I had to deal with his crap!
The typical moocher fucker.
Hangs out and gets help.
Pays for nothing and fucks you over!
Who does he remind ya'll of????? let me see if I can think of someone.......
Fuck you Doug! Fuck you!
Piece of shit.
Anyways. I am just tired and cranky.......
Guy with balls and devotion would have done it on his own account.
Either way. We had a great turnout.
Phew.....I am going to sleep 2 days straight.
WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you deserve it mate you must be shagged out by now

But you done good bro you and your team.... kudos
