Allied Pilots Association Trading Cards
The Allied Pilots Association (commonly known as APA) is the union representing 16,000 professional pilots at American Airlines. Headquartered at Dallas-Fort Worth, APA is one of the leading pilot unions in the USA consistently advocating for aviation safety, advanced pilot qualifications, and training standards.
By early 2026, pilots at American Airlines had relied on TallyHo and unofficial cards to provide passengers these highly sought-after souvenirs. APA, following the pilots’ demands, announced the creation of 4 new collectible cards featuring each type of aircraft in the American fleet.
Currently, APA cards are only issued to pilots who volunteer in APA’s National Communications Network, a dedicated team within the union. Based on the unofficial American Airlines cards’ templates, the APA cards have the similar metallic sheen surrounding the featured aircraft on the front. QR codes found on the bottom right of the cards lead to the APA’s website.

*Rarity is subjective, but based on the Pilot Card Guys' experience. Many cards have a higher value but are relatively common. So rarity is not closely correlated to value on eBay.
+The photo refers to the source of the photo. 1 = scanned by the Pilot Card Guys, 2 = Photo provided by a member of the community, 3= image found online.
