Tyler,
Would the Barr Foundation, a non profit amputee assistance and educational
institutional organization, qualify for a institutional AOPA membership?
Even though I am not a current AOPA member could you also address a question
of how many of your 1400 members are also current Academy members?
Thank you,
Tony Barr
