1,700 senior pilots now count themselves as members of one of the world's most distinguished pilot organizations, the United Flying Octogenarians (UFOs). Each has held an airman’s flight certificate in a fixed- or rotary-wing, sport, balloon or glider aircraft and exercised the privilege of pilot in command after reaching the age of 80.
​
UFO's governance includes four officers, plus five directors, and 30+ area representatives (Local Hosts) located across the U.S. UFO also has members representing seven countries from around the world.
​
The UFO is a U.S. tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization with global membership in all 50 states, as well as U.S. territories and several other countries. Donations to the UFO are tax-deductible.
