Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tamahine 12-tau-tau o te kaikawe mēra nana i whakanoho tana gyrocopter ki runga i te papa o te US Capitol i tera wiki i kii ia 'he tino whakapehapeha' ia ki tana papa. 'He tangata aroha ki te whenua ia, e mōhio ana koe?' I kōrero a Kathy Hughes ki a ABC News. 'I mahia e ia mō te whenua.' Ko tōna pāpā, ko Doug Hughes, 61 tau te pakeke, i whakanoho i te waka rererangi ki te West Lawn i te Wenerei kua hipa hei whakahe i ngā ture pūtea pakanga engari i tere tonu te hopukina. Kei raro ia i te whare herehere i to ratou whare i Ruskin, Florida i te wa e tatari ana ia ki te whakarongo ki te whakatau mehemea ka whakawakia ia mo te whakawhiti i te rohe kore-rere, he whakapae ka taea e ia te tuku ki te whare herehere mo nga tau e wha. I te Mane, i kii a Hughes i tana haerenga 80 maero ki te Capitol 'he tino whakamiharo' me te tohatoha i nga whakaahua o te rerenga mai i Virginia, puta noa i Washington DC me tana taunga haumaru ki te West Lawn. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Proud: Kathy Hughes, 12, i mea ia ko ia 'tino whakapehapeha' o tona papa, i hopukina i muri i te taunga o tona gyrocopter i runga i te tarutaru ki te Hauauru o te US Capitol i te wiki kua hipa ki te whakahee i te pirau i roto i te Congress. E korero ana: I kii a Doug Hughes ko te haerenga mai i Virginia ki te U.S. Capitol he 'whakaongaonga nui' i a ia e korero ana ki Good Morning America i te ata o te Mane. I tēnei wā kei raro ia i te whare herehere i Florida. Journey: I tohaina ano e ia nga whakaahua (whakaahua) o tana rerenga 80 mai i Virginia me te DC. I a ia e korero ana ki te Ata Pai o Amerika i te ata o te Mane, i kii a Hughes kaore ia i mataku ka koperea ia, ahakoa i tae mai ia ki nga waewae o te whare tiaki. 'Ko ahau he mailman, i ahau te tuku i te mēra,' ka mea ia wryly. 'E kore au e whakaaro ka pupuhi te kāwanatanga i tētahi kaipāhituhi 61 tau te pakeke i runga i tētahi paihikara rere e kore nei e whakawehi i tētahi.' I tapiritia e ia kua mahi ia i 'katoa kaha ki te whakamōhio i te whakahaere' i mua i tona rere ki te tuku ia ratou mohio ko wai ia, me te aha e mahi ia. Hei utu mo te manukanuka ki te whakaekenga, i arotahi ia ki te taunga haumaru, e ai ki tana. 'He rerekē tēnei i ētahi atu tūnga i mahia e au, ā, he āhua tino tūturu tōna,' i mea ia.

I kī a Kathy Hughes i tōna pāpā a Doug Hughes he'tangata whenua'nā te tūnga o tana gyrocopter ki te marae ki te Uru i te wiki kua hipa hei whakahē i ngā ture pūtea pakanga. I a ia e korero ana i te Mane, i kī a Mr Hughes ko te haerenga he 'whakamanatanga nui' ā, kāore ia i wehi ka patua ia. I mea ia he pai ki a ia te ngaro i tana mahi me te haere ki te whare herehere mehemea ka aro te whenua ki tana karere. E wha tau pea tana noho ki te whare herehere mō te whakawhiti i tētahi rohe kore-rere, ā, kei raro ia i te whare herehere i Florida i mua i tētahi rerenga i Washington D.C. i te marama e whai ake nei.
