Like everyone else said, go ahead and do it :->. I don't even have a pilots license myself and I've been a member for a number of years now - I think it may have been shortly after "should be thrown into the fiery pits of #### for eternity mayor daly" dug holes into each enf of Meigs fields runway in the middle of the night that I decided to join (or it may have been when the FAA started talking about implementing user fees). Mainly I joined just to contribute a little to their lobbying efforts (and the fact that there's a slight chance you can win an airplane each year is just icing on the cake :->).Tim
