Great post Chris. Fantastic stuff. That 3 seat parsons looked good. Nothing better than some video of the homebuilt scene back in the day. Appreciate you putting it up for viewing. Matt
That 3 seat Parsons was none other than Bill Parsons at the controls. Bill let me fly his early tandem in 1983 with Herb Cox as my instructor. Bills tandem was one of the best trainers for that time. Many of my students were flying single place open frame gyros and there just weren't any other good two-place gyros then. But can't count out the Air & Space 18A. I ended up flying that with John Potter as my instructor. That is when I earned my CFI at Farrington's AirPark in Paducah KY. Many friends in those videos.
Tail end of that was Mountain City 1993. I think there may have been a splash or two from Brookville OH in there also. You can thank Dan Leslie of Videograms because it's all his work.
Yes I know. Times forgotten but for us "old folks". Mountain City was a beautiful airport in the Fall. Thanks for trusting me to fly yours, you did a super job on the build. Not sure I really knew what I was doing though.!!!!

Chris, wow, I was young then. Windryder looks modern and sleek 30 years ago!
