The Aeroplane and Kite Club of Illinois was established in late 1909. An exhibition was planned for late February in the Chicago Colliseum at which many models were to be shown in flight.

Club leaders included James Rucker, Edward E. Herbert, and Oscar Newstrom.

This might have been the same as the Illinois Aeroplane Club.
