Organized in 1962, the purpose of the Association is to promote General Aviation and voice an opinion on Government Legislation, Rules and Regulations that affect General Aviation. An active history includes coordinating educational events, hosting social activities, civic involvement, and providing flight scholarship funding. The Organization also provides Social and Recreational Activities for Members and Friends. Membership is comprised of both active and retired, private and commercial pilots, and others involved in aviation.
