Wichita Aero Club Ball

The second annual Wichita Aero Club Ball, featuring the presentation of the first ever Wichita Aero Club Trophy, will be a highlight of the 2010 social calendar. This time, the "Black Tie Ball" really will be black tie – a formal affair with all the trimmings! The date and location will be announced closer to the date, probably in the early autumn of next year, but it's worth putting a reminder on your calendar now. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, please visit the Award page and consider who you might nominate to receive the prestigious WAC Trophy.
