Well worth with all that aopa does for pilots and airports they are a great organization also the flight training magaizines are good reads. If your a student first year membership is only 29.00 so its 10 dollars off as long as your a student. I also plan to get myself a mentor as well through their mentor program. I highly suggest joining. One other reason to join is cause these guys fought the battle for GA about putting fee's at airports and raising taxes on gas. That in itself is well worth th 30 dollars if not more.
