Signed,
ISIS.
Biggest bunch of BS I ever heard. The motor, the frame, most everything except the rotor(which could be carbon graphite) reflects radar. They were just asleep at the wheel.
In 1987 2 fedayeen from Palestine infiltrated Israel using hang gliders. One was immediately neutralized. The second,unfortunately, was able to kill several Israelis before getting getting killed by IDF troops. This is not a new tactic. I hope the DoD takes notice.
How about if 20 of these gyrocopters showed up at treetop level at the White House or Capitol in a coordinated attack coming from different directions, each one being piloted by a heavily armed man?
Do you think the FAA would let us know?
If ISIS never thought about it before, they will now...
I once lived in a house about 500 yards from the runway of the local airport. There was a guy who had a gyro copter who practiced “touch and go’s” all day on Saturdays and Sunday’s. That was the loudest and most irritating noise you ever heard. I could even hear it over the din of my lawnmower when cutting grass.
He went up and down that runway for months before having the nerve to lift off more than a foot or two.
When he finally did, I never confused it with a bird.
