Here is an AutoGyro. Part helicopter and part airplane. I took a picture of this becuase my brother-in-law also has an autogyro, but not this fancy.

I don't know exactly what kind of plane this is. When they announced it as a warbird... several groans were heard from the crowd. Sure didn't look like or fly like a warbird. The "warbird" name is usually reserved for fighters and bombers... aircraft capable of dealing death and destruction to those outside the airplane. This thing looked like it was dangerous only to those INSIDE the airplane!!!

An interesting looking airplane. Not exactly sure what it is.
