Robert Heimberger, St. Louis Rotocraft Club
Whenever a gyroplane attends a gathering of aviators, it will almost certainly draw a crowd of the curious. Their impression of the aircraft and pilot begins the moment they see the gyro enter the pattern and can last a lifetime. Bob Heimberger talks about how gyroplane pilots can put their best rotor forward and demonstrate to others their professionalism and respect for the aviation sport. St. Louis Rotocraft Club
Dan Grunloh, Sun 'n Fun Fly-In
Dan Grunloh is the volunteer that heads up the ultralight judging staff at Sun 'n Fun. We talk about what his team will be looking for during this year's event. Sun 'n Fun Fly-In
