"We thought he was in trouble" said Mary Gross of Highland Heights "but when he got out and ran toward us I thought maybe he was a terrorist and was going to hurt us. I was so terrified."

  Many people were shopping at Meijer when the gyrocopter landed and just stood by watching as the Gyrocopter circled the parking lot and then landed on the north east part of the parking lot. The pilot got out and started running toward a few people carrying a small case. When he approached the people he was saying "YOU WON $50K." 

"Of course we thought he was crazy and never expected to be handed a this case full of $100 dollar bills with a total of 500 in all. I thought it was fake because people just don't go out and give money   away but we went into Meijer to the Bank of America and they got their counterfeit markers and marked a dozen or more bills and they were real." 

When asked what she was going to do with all that money she said "what money" and then quietly walked out of Meijer where she got into her Lexus and drove away. 

A gyrocopter (or "gyroplane" or simply "gyro") is essentially a helicopter-airplane hybrid, offering many of the benefits of both and several of its own. Many consider it among the safest aircraft you can fly. Unlike a helicopter, the gyro's rotor blades are unpowered, necessitating a short roll for take-off—unless the craft is fitted with a pre-rotator, which can greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for a runway. A major safety feature of the gyro is that if the engine fails, the craft can be easily glided to a safe landing. Also, the gyro is less affected by high wind than typical fixed-wing aircraft and is not subject to stall.
