Could this be a Seinfeld moment?
Was the pilot named “Newman” ? ? ?
Did Kramer paint the logo on the tail rudder???
Did George have a hand?
Did Elaine try to talk Newman down?

What’s up with Post Office logo on it?

Some crazed lefty flew it in to protest political donations. Hillary prolly put him up to it.

[b4its2late]

That looks like a US Post Office logo.

Unionized govt employee, assuming post office is considered such.

A man landed gyrocopter in front of the U.S. Capitol around 1:30 pm on Wednesday, the same day that a Florida mail carrier said he was planning to pull such a stunt in order to promote reform of campaign finance laws.

Doug Hughes, who works as a mail carrier in Ruskin, Florida, told the Tampa Bay Times that he wanted to land his gyrocopter on tax day and deliver letters to Congressmen urging them to take action on campaign finance. He was apparently undeterred by the fact that flying a vehicle so close to the Capitol would violate federal law.

Notice he's using US Postal Service logo on the rudder. Add that to the list of charges unless the USPS has an air commando unit.

“Did you see the recent Popular Mechanics that featured a new generation of helicopter that is able to overcome the retreating blade stall phenomenon. Very interesting read.”

wonder if it is a derivative of the "Honey-Bee" family of Gyro's that were variants of the Bensen Gyro's.

I think it is a Benson like the one in the screen capture from Mad Max above. The old flat four 2 stroke McCulloch (I think that is what the original Benson used) is rare these days.

I lost interest after they dropped the Mr. Zip logo.

Gee, the only postman that shows initiative by implementing same day delivery and what does the government do......... arrests him!

I thought Obama didn’t want to defend this country with a military, but this is getting scary.

This is what I call ENTERTAINMENT.

Florida postal carrier named Doug Hughes said he was delivering letters to all 535 members of Congress in order to draw attention to campaign finance corruption.

D.C. has become a circus, a disgusting spectacle of fraud and corruption. They've corrupted and betrayed the best country on the planet.

Lets just hope some 747 pilot doesn't decide to make a letter delivery of his own.
