Day One

This story actually begins in the summer of 2015, when I first flew an open cockpit MTO Sport gyroplane from Austin, Texas to Los Angeles, then up the coast to San Francisco, then back to Austin. It was one of the most transformative trips I have ever taken, and the memories of those three weeks never fails to evoke a smile. I had flown many cross countries in gyros and airplanes, but there was just something special about this trip.
