Florida Sunset pictures

My friends captured these pics while I was flying a trike we make near Tampa (Gulf coast) in Florida. Enjoy the sunset views and fly safe.

Thank you. We do trikes, gyroplanes as well as airplanes. Every aircraft has its pros and cons and own magic. Enjoy.

I like the 2nd one too.

Must be a handful in a crosswind landing?

Would LOVE to see some GoPro footage from that machine. Especially take offs and landings.

Do you fly out of KCLW? If so, I think I've seen you far below me over Clearwater Beach area.

Not at all. Just come in approach with a crab angle. Touch down on mains and keep flaring, keep the nose wheel off. The machines swings into the direction of travel and straightens out before front wheel touches down. Power on approach if the crosswind is gusty and above 10 knots.

No that is a yellow Revo trike flown by one of my ex-employees (Dane Hauser). We are located near KZPH (Zephyrhills Municipal Airport)

I don't have GoPro footage from that machine and I suck on video editing. I have about 3652 hours on trikes and have transitioned or made about 53 pilots so far. Most airplane pilots who add-on a WSC category endorsement on their license. Here are some fellow trike pilots and their interesting videos of majestic scenery. Trikes are great platforms for filming.
