Warner Kenyon in a 1950 AOPA Advertisement


This advertisement for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association [AOPA] appeared on page 55 of the June 1950 issue of Flying magazine.  Warner Kenyon is shown standing in front of Abken's Stinson.  

The quote reads, "In my opinion, membership in AOPA gives more for the money than any organization of its kind ever established.  I intend to be a member as long as I am connected with flying."

At the time, membership in the AOPA cost $5.00 per year, including a ssubscription to Flying.

The AOPA, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to general aviation, was incorporated on May 15, 1939.  AOPA exists to serve the interests of its members as aircraft owners and pilots, and to promote the economy, safety, utility and popularity of flight in general aviation aircraft.  With more than 500,000 members worldwide in 2012, AOPA is the largest aviation association in the world.
