I have always found great value in attending and participating in the PRA International Convention.

I am planning on driving from Santa Maria, CA to Oshkosh, WI and then down to Mentone Indiana.

I love seeing old friends and meeting new friends.

I always learn a lot about gyroplanes at the PRA Convention.

Remember when you would get one of these and a magazine and a T-shirt when one signed up to be a member? Not currently a member. Nope. Don't ask. Was reminiscing about the good ole days!

Good point. The Magazines stopped in 1999, PRA bought a nice membership card printer, that and other items have gone missing.

Stiil offer Powered Sport Flying e-zine with membership. Working to get things going again but we need folks who have ideas and want to get involved to volunteer for board and at large positions.

1956 Cessna 172. No letter after the 172, it's too old.

I received a print magazine this year, too...

But it is not the old PRA Publication, Rotorcraft Flying. That stopped in 2019. Magazine now, is Powered Sport Flying. E-zine version free to members on the web, or print copy $12 extra with membership.

Plans have changed; I am driving straight to Mentone with an old friend of mine. Hope to arrive Tuesday evening and stay through the banquet. We both look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I don't like to miss AirVenture.

Plans could still change as I managed to work my rentals out with less trouble than I expected.

I always feel so important when I ride around with you.
Lol I’m not important. Safety on the Flightline is what’s important I’m just there to help direct the chaos in the right direction.
