Gyrocopter ride.

Noel got it into his head that he would like to fly in a Gyrocopter. Next day we took off down to Tauranga where he had arranged for a half hour flight at the airport.

Glorious day with a fresh breeze. They took off and flew around the area; over the Mount and sea and Tauranga. He had been given a lengthy briefing which included instructions for him to take the controls. So he didn't see as much as he would have liked because he was concentrating.

It was fun. There were quite a number of Gyrocopters there; each a little different.
