Meetings are conducted at the site of quarterly meetings, in various locations in the United States, usually within affiliated states. The Missouri Pilots Association was founded in 1953 for the purpose of encouraging the development of aviation in Missouri through educational, civic, recreational, and patriotic activities. It voted to affiliate with the US Pilots Association in June 1981. In 1990 USPA and its Missouri chapter worked together to support legislation to improve funding for Missouri airports and related aviation facilities. USPA often takes positions on important national topics concerning aviation, including the Air Traffic controller’s strike in 1981 and the air crash death of under-age pilot Jessica Dubroff in 1997.
