John is a regular contributor to http://www.rotaryforum.com. He is
happily flying his 'Bee all over the Seattle area.

That's correct Peter (thanks).

Just last weekend I took a nice 1.5 hour flight in the beautiful warm sunny
weather, which is quite rare for the Seattle area (I'm obliged to say that
in a public forum to keep up the rain myth). Flew from where I hanger my
GyroBee at Harvey Airfield (near Snohomish, WA) up to Marysville, then
turned west and north following the shoreline along the Puget Sound up to
Stanwood, then toward the Arlington airport, and finally back south to
Harvey. Saw lots of people out playing on the beaches of the sound, lakes,
and rivers around the area. Lots of boats in large clusters on the sound
(why do they cluster like that?).

Someday I need to get a small video camera mounted on my helmet to record
some of these flights.

I have 130 hours of flight time in my Bee now... just love it.

Fly safe,
