Membership in CHPA is open to active duty, retired and veteran helicopter aircrew members from all branches of service and all wars in which the US has flown helicopters.
In addition to the camaraderie associated with a gathering of combat helicopter pilots, CHPA provides mentoring and other services to current and former pilots and crew members. Part of our mentoring program includes career assistance and guidance to individuals dealing with issues relating to claims and other benefits at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
CHPA exists because of our shared experience of war. An answer to the question "Why join CHPA" is summarized by Marine, Michael Norman in his memoir These Good Men. "I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite..." Click here to read more of the quote from Michael Norman.
