Yesterday I'd been talking to Tom, an EAA member, at the pancake breakfast, and his 79 year old mother-in law who's visiting from Scotland. She was very interested in the gyro, and I said I'd be happy to take her up before she goes home early next month. So I called them this morning and suggested we meet at Lincoln. I pulled the plane out, we had a quick pre-flight briefing, then went out and flew over Tom's house, over to the West to go over the crashed airplane sculpture, then back to Lincoln - just short of an hour, all told. She was really impressed. She's walking the Great Wall of China next year for her 80th birthday :o)
I took the gyro over to Marysville and back, but the wind seemed to be getting gustier, so I called it a day at that.
