More and more pilots are recognizing that AOPA is the top general aviation association - and they're jumping on board. At the end of April, AOPA reached a new record: 411,583 members!

"We're in the midst of critical turning point for GA - facing a declining pilot population and the threat of avgas tax hikes and user fees - that will take the voice of all pilots united as one to protect our industry," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "I'm proud that pilots are joining AOPA to help preserve GA as we know it today."

As the world's largest GA association, AOPA is giving all of its members the opportunity to help boost the pilot population through AOPA's Project Pilot and keep flying affordable through its FAA Funding Debate initiative.
