Fly-In, Ride In or Drive In! 47th Annual P.R.A. Convention!
It has been called "The world's greatest rotorcraft event." Gyroplanes, helicopters and autogyros, built and flown by their owners, will gather at the Mentone, Indiana airport on August 4 through 8 for the 47th Annual Convention of the Popular Rotorcraft Association. This is a rare opportunity to see these unique flying machines, talk to the builders and kit manufacturers, and see them fly. The rotorcraft will range from simple open-frame ultralight gyroplanes and helicopters to multi-seat enclosed cross-country rotorcraft. A special feature this year is a classic car cruise-in to be held on Saturday August 8. This unique event is devoted exclusively to homebuilt rotorcraft and has been presented every year for more than four decades. In recent years it has been held at the Mentone, Indiana airport, owned by the Popular Rotorcraft Association. Fixed-wing visitors are welcome to fly in, and a control crew will work to blend fixed-wing and rotary-wing traffic. The airport has on-site space for tent camping and also has hookups for water and electricity for campers. A cantina provides breakfast, lunch and dinner to those flying in as well as those attending the convention. Proceeds benefit the event. Local motels are available. Visitors will see daily flight demonstrations of rotorcraft and open flying continuing throughout each day. Aircraft manufacturers and trainers will be at the event some of which will be offering introductory lessons. Forums will be presented daily discussing many aspects of building and flying gyroplanes and helicopters. Convention visitors may visit the on-field Archimedes/LeRoy Hardee Museum of Homebuilt Rotorcraft. The Popular Rotorcraft Association (PRA), which sponsors this event, is a worldwide organization of homebuilt rotorcraft enthusiasts. In addition to hosting this annual convention, PRA also promotes flying safety and information exchange. More information about PRA and its activities is available online at www.pra.org or call (574) 353-7227. Photos and video can be downloaded from the GyroWiki at : http://pra31.org/PRA_Press.aspx For questions regarding the Classic Car Drive-In contact Jennifer at prahq@medt.com or the PRA contact number listed above. Motorcycle riders are welcome also! If your club would like to participate please contact us.
