Gyrocopter

Yesterday I showed a pelican flying over the beach.  Here is another sight that can be seen in Tamarindo -- the gyrocopter flying overhead.  My son rode in the gyrocopter several years ago and loved it.  I posted a few of the photos that he took.

I will have to try it sometime.  You get to sit up front in the open air, which would provide great visibility for photos.

The gyrocopter takes off from Tamairndo airport and flies down the beach for 15 minute scenic flights.

This week we are showing photos from Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    Looks more fun that riding a bicycle, I need one of these.

    Think of the pictures you could take from one of those!

    Looks like it's like riding on a rollercoaster -- scary but fun.

    I think it would be fun but probably very expensive. And, I'll wager, Costa Rican civil aviation and insurance rules are not nearly as tight as the US.
