Any pilots / CFI's a member of this?
Your input would be appreciated on your experiences, and if it's
worthwhile for a current CFI to join.




Some of the "benefits" that have not been mentioned a
1- Once you have gone through the necessary BS to become a "pilot", you can
deduct the currency time on your taxes.

2-Membership will allow most members to join military aero clubs. Flying
rates at these clubs can be CONSIDERABLY less than local FBO's, and they
have to comply with a bunch of military regs for maintenance.

The club that I belong to is first class (Wright Patt). We have 15 a/c
ranging from a 172 to an Aztec. There must be 30 CFI's and availability
usually is great, except when the IPT (USAF Inital Pilot Training) guys
come in for their "40 days to PPL".

Yes, there are a lot of military BS things, (i.e. paperwork). Mostly, an
annual test (written & flying) to make sure you are safe, but I don't think
that is a BAD thing.
