How many Pilot organizations do you belong

[Dean]

to?
I have received at least three different invites to join pilot organizations within the last two weeks. I am currently a member of the Missouri Pilots Association and EAA. I received an invite to join the United States Pilots Association this month, and I will probably join this one too.
Where does it end?

 

[ScottM]

AOPA and EAA

 

[jesse]

Zero.

 

[dmccormack]

Was: AOPA, NAFI, CAP, ABS (Bonanza Society)

Now: AOPA, Aeronca Aviators

Why?

I didn't see the value in NAFI as a P/T CFI not logging buckets of hours with hoardes of students. I may re-join after the current organizational bruhaha is over.

I'll keep my CAP comments classified.

Aeronca Club = fastest way to get info on the type.

Does POA count?

 

[tonycondon]

letsee...

AOPA
NAFI
CAF
Soaring Society of America
Vintage Sailplane Association

I don't think I'm a current EAA member but I also think my NAFI membership gets me access to the EAA website.

Also in the two local glider clubs and still a current member of the glider club in Ames.

So does that mean tha you are PoAwned?

 

[John Baker]

AOPA is the only one. I have not yet sent in a donation to POA, so I can't really call myself a member. I do attend their meetings though, if posting is a meeting.
