Welcome to the Louisiana Chapter of the Popular Rotorcraft Association, the Pelican State Rotor Club. Covering all of Louisiana, East Texas, Western Mississippi, and Southern Arkansas, we are host to a diverse group of gyroplane enthusiasts. Fly-ins are usually held quarterly at different locations around the state, in order to ensure that all members have a chance to attend.
