AOPA offers free membership to military

By Janice Wood · May 28, 2012 ·

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) is offering active-duty military a complimentary one-year membership in AOPA.

The free membership comes as the nation celebrates Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day and is designed to allow military members to take their love of aviation beyond their uniform, officials said.

“We have an amazing array of content and pilot resources and believe that whether you fly for the military or are a recreational flyer, AOPA has something for everyone,” said Michelle Peterson, AOPA’s Vice President of Membership. “We sincerely hope military aviators continue their passion for flying long after they complete their service to our country. Perhaps they will continue that passion through general aviation.”
