Aero Club of PA | ||
For Delaware Valley Pilots, Aero Club Members and Aviation Enthusiasts. | ||
The Aero Club of Pennsylvania was organized in December, 1909 in Philadelphia for the purpose of "educating the public on matters of aeronautics". This goal remains intact as we organize aviation-related seminars, presentations and field-trips. We also sponsor an annual Wright Brothers dinner and a scholarship dinner. Most importantly, we award aviation scholarships.
