Join me on the most amazing flight I’ve ever had. This is what gyroplane flying is all about, and the flight was unforgettable. We flew low over the Econlockhatchee and St. Johns Rivers. This is really FLORIDA FLYING!

In my youth, more than 55 year's ago; While in my early 20's. I built, learned to fly, what was then referred to as a Gyro-Copter. I put more than a couple of hundred hour's in that old converted from a go-cart, an old raggedy Brigg's and Stranton lawn mower engine. Ahhhh, the summer of 69. While other youth's my age were busy with the Drug's, Sex, Rock and Roll, I had my gyro- copter.

I’ll say this, I am absolutely ridiculously terrified of flying. When I was young I loved every second and I flew at least 6 to 8 times a year. Something in me over the past 5 years has made it unbearable, each time I got worse and worse. It would require heavy drinking or medication to get on a plane. It’s now gotten to be that I will not fly anymore, even with heavy Xanax I just can’t do it. I truly respect and admire people that can enjoy flying. I hold myself back from a lot of adventures and beautiful experiences because of this fear that I have metastasized. I really enjoy learning and am an undercover nerd. Needless to say I found your channel by going down the quintessential KZfaq rabbit hole and here I am. I’ve kicked around some of your videos and must say I’ve enjoyed them. This gyroplane seems very cool and that has to have been such an amazing experience, great job capturing that. Very cool guy to take you out and fly you around on such a unique machine. Florida has it’s perks, just moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Greenville, SC 8 months ago. Sorry for the long ramble, anyways 🤦🏼‍♀️just wanted to express my appreciation for your video and you’ve got a new sub. Thanks

@Lauren Arnold >>> I have not flown in *_several_* years, but I *WAS* a student pilot back in 1979 & 1980. {I did not stick with it due to lack of $$$. However, I have worked in aviation - both military and then civilian - since 1983.} *PLEASE* _try_ to find *SOMEONE* to help you *OVERCOME* your fear! What I WOULD NOT GIVE to have my private pilot's _or_ sport pilot's license NOW _and_ have _something_ to fly, *INCLUDING A GYRO!!!!* BTW, I was born and raised in St. Pete {where I was a student pilot}. I also lived in Dade County from 1988 to 1995, when I was in the US Coast Guard. I have lived in northeastern North Carolina since 1995 - transferred here with the USCG. Retired from _"The Guard"_ in 2003, been living here ever since.

I've done both a while ago and I'm not sure which one I would like to do again. Gyros are so much faster and easier to take of and can handle winds, but glide like a brick with engine off. PPG are safe and slow I guess, cheaper and easier to put into the back of your car.

Terrific! I’m considering getting one. Out in the open is great but I think I want a little more fuselage around me. From what I’ve read, they are very safe but have a high crash/death history due to the fact they’re so maneuverable it makes cowboying them hard to resist. 😉

I feel like this whole setup is the equivalent to a motorcycle in the air. There's is literally nothing around you to protect you from rain, bugs, crashes, snakes, or anything. Yet it's a ride you won't experience anywhere else
