RIP Ken Wallis

[AndyG43]

Just found out that the wonderful Ken Wallis, aviator par excellence and genuine national treasure, passed earlier this week at the age of 97.

Happy flying Wing Commander.

Wallis was the stunt pilot who flew the autogyro and designed it by his company Wallis Autogyro.

I got a mild chuckle out of the comments by the chuckleheads on that video's commentary section who foolishly claimed it "was all done with models!" LOL!!
