The club was a founding member of the American Intercollegiate Association of Aero Clubs, 30 Apr. 1910. Miscellany from the Cornell University Aero Club at the Cornell University Library comprise the years 1911-1970.
Initial officers included R. E. Treman, president; G. F. Hewitt, Jr., vice president; M. Bronk, secretary; and J. C. Von Glahn, treasurer. Over 100 members were listed at the formation in 1909 while the number was 54 at the end of the year. However, the New York Times reported only 13 members in June 1910.
