What a summer this has been, with a hurricane flooding southern Texas and, as I write this, another one preparing to devastate Florida. I truly hope that you’ve all managed to come through these tantrums of Mother Nature with minimal – or no! – damage. In the meantime, we have a great magazine for you! Now, are you wondering what on earth that thing is on our cover for this issue? It’s essentially a sky motorcycle from the Kitty Hawk Company, and it had its debut at AirVenture 2017. Willi Tacke has an article for us explaining this work-in-progress. Roy wasn’t able to attend all of AirVenture, but he did manage to make it to Oshkosh for a few days, and he’s got a report on the show. Apparently, it was a really good one this year! In August, Stephanie Gremminger attended the PRAconvention in Mentone, Indiana, and has an interview with Dick McGraw about his Rhino 2.2. This is a jump gyro and is pretty nifty to watch in action! It’s even more amazing when you consider that Dick has no formal training in designing a gyro. Doug Maas has been observing the decline in powered parachute flying. He traces some of the possible causes to their roots, and discusses what can be done to get people involved in flying these fun aircraft once again. Christopher Pine checks in this issue with some quick tips on beating back complacency when flying, and Jeff Goin has a reminder about the risks of flying near wires. Back in February, Jeff Hamann flew into the Arizona Flying Circus put on by Mo Sheldon each year. Jeff tells us about his experience flying in as well as about the event, and as usual he has great pictures for us. As always, we also have Dan Johnson reporting on light sport aircraft, a calendar of upcoming events to consider attending, and lots of advertisers and classified ads in case you’re in the mood to buy! I hope you all have a good Fall season and that you don’t overdo the pumpkin spice! Editorial We lost a dear companion, Cody, one of the Moral Support Canines. He was overcome with cancer. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
