Ah, AOPA. I wonder if they spent more or less on printing and postage on the junkmail they still sometimes sent me than they ever got from me in membership fees.

They don't hold a candle to the EAA though. Holey cheese grater.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know about EAA vs AOPA quality.

What's with EAA?

I joined, I quit, they mailed me shit for YEARS. There's no possible way they did anything useful with the membership dues I paid given the entire rain forest worth of junk mail they printed and mailed me.
