I’m a member. The sticker is nice to have on your car, for some reason, when people read “Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association” on your rear window they always assume that you own a Lear, and have no idea what a 172 is when you tell them the real story. I usually just point up and say, “there goes one now”. Great pictures for screen savers too.

A couple years ago someone asked me how many engines my plane had. Funny part, she had been sitting in the right front seat for two hours.

I actually had a tourist get mad at me cause when we flew over the Arctic Circle she couldn’t see the line in the ground (true story)
Member here, Enjoy reading the rag but hate the constant flow of junk mail asking for more money.
If they would quit spending money on the junk mail they’d fill their coffers back up.
Foolish tourist. Everyone knows there isn’t a line on the ground at the Arctic Circle. It’s a circle!
After that “incident ” upon crossing N66.33 I’d get in the PA and say “Congratulations you’ve just crossed the Arctic Circle (all heads would look down outside) (then I add) Do to budget cuts and complaints from those sissys at Greenpeace we are no longer able to maintain painting the dashed line on the ground”

LOL! One of the guys I fly with is an old timer, and CO used to make their pilots to do a little “bump” over the Continental Divide and announce to the pax that they just crossed it.
damn i wish i knew that trick- we crossed the continental divide up in the brooks range in AK on the way to AKP
