Gallery Update: Interesting Sightings at Spanish Fork

Happy Halloween everyone! After I got done flying today, I stuck around for a little bit to photograph some unique aircraft that caught my eye. One was an agricultural aircraft with a radial engine, the Weatherly 620. The other was an Airgyro Tercel, a gyrocopter. Here's the link:

Spanish Fork-Springville (U77) 4

Preview:

Weatherly 620B (N90379) parked on the ramp. An agricultural aircraft designed in the 1970s based off the Weatherly 201, which was built in the 1960s. The B-model is a 1992 production variant equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine like the ones seen on Stearman biplanes. Radial engines are pretty uncommon here in Spanish Fork...

Airgyro Tercel (N557AT) working the pattern. Airgyro Aviation is locally-based at Spanish Fork and they manufacture three variants of their gyrocopters.
