The Aero Club of Nebraska at Omaha was founded no later than July 1910. The club was admitted to the National Council of the Aero Clubs of America at its third meeting on 4 Apr. 1911.
Nearly every type of aircraft that navigated or sailed the air participated at what appears to have been the first meet of the Aero Club of Nebraska, held at Omaha on 23-27 July 1910. Two hot air balloons, one captive balloon, one free balloon, one dirigible balloon, and three Curtiss aeroplanes whose pilots were Glenn H. Curtiss, J. C. Mars, J. A. D. McCurdy, and Eugene B. Ely, were in the air each day.
