The History of Aero Club
The first Aero Club was formed in Washington D.C. in 1909 when only a handful of citizens believed that the “flying machine” would have staying power. The Club founders sought to draw national attention to the airplane and its potential. The Club’s primary mission remains intact to this day: “To foster and promote interest in the principles and development of aeronautics and to extend honors and hospitalities to eminent airmen.” Since 1909, other states, cities and countries have formed their own Aero Clubs with similar missions.
