PRA members are urged to join the list of supporters and contacts for the PRA Norman Surplus Support Team.

               Norman Surplus is currently on an expedition to become the first person to circumnavigate the world in a gyroplane.

The PRA is compiling a list of interested individuals that are willing to potentially provide any or all of the following forms of assistance to the expedition:

1. A warm welcome when he arrives at a regional airport.

2. Possible hangar space or other resources.

3. Advise or updates on regional conditions and amenities.

4. Photos or trip updates.

5. Emergency contact support or emergency aid.

We are looking for volunteers in ALL STATES, Canada, Europe and Asia.

VERY IMPORTANT: The map on Norms website (click here)  is a POSSIBLE DRAFT of his route. The actual route is yet to be determined and will vary up to the last minute based on weather, resources and the location of sponsors for the expedition.

If you are willing to be a contact or join the list of supporters please email :
