dennis skills are on display at an air show in utah in june of 2008, and one person eager to see it, and videotape it, is tina tyler, an american gyrocopter pilot. i packed up my gyro and headed out to utah with my camera in hand. for dennis, there s a setback at the beginning of the event. the helicopter, a schweitzer, is unfamiliar and it s heavier than he s used to. i normally fly with ten gallons on board, which weighs 80 pounds, 72, in fact, and i had 30 on board, three times the weight. as dennis takes off, he s aware of another element that will have a major impact on his performance. the air park had two things going for it. it was high and it was hot, 96 degrees that day. both those factors spelled danger for a pilot. in utah, it s about 5,000 feet elevation and it was a warm day that day. this creates a condition

both those factors spelled danger for a pilot. in utah, it s about 5,000 feet elevation and it was a warm day that day. this creates a condition called high density altitude, which actually means hotter, thinner air, giving the pilot less lift and less power. i had to take certain steps, make certain changes to my routine. dennis calculates the changes he ll make and at first, everything goes smoothly. the standard display routine commences with a pirouette on the left front skids, rotating the helicopter. i got my camera out to take footage of his performance. i was excited about capturing it on camera. i turned to 300 feet, then a backflip away from the crowd to get distance from the crowd to commence the run-in for the opening maneuver which is a loop. so far, the impressive routine seems flawless. everything looked normal. it s very rare to see a helicopter pilot be able to do maneuvers like that. i never thought it was going wrong.
