The plane was a home built 2/3 scale replica of a P-51. Turned out Tom knew the pilot and he asked us if we wanted to look at some planes so we followed him over to his hangar.
Quite a surprise as we saw many different planes.

Even another P-51! |
While we were talking another plane flew over and landed and a lady climbed out of the cockpit. We had been talking with here friend and turns out that between them they have 6 planes here at Hondo and a few more in Medina!
After leaving Hondo we took a scenic route back to the Ranch flying along Highway 16 so we could see Lake Medina and even San Antonio off to the east. On our way back Tom found some large open fields and he did lots of maneuvering as we flew a whole lot closer to the ground so he could show me just how the Gyro handled. Was amazing to say the least.
