You're dangerously close to encroaching on established names. The Aero Club of America
was the predecessor of the National Aeronautics Association. More importantly, the Aero
Club of Washington at www.aeroclub.org still is an ongoing operation. Did you consult a
lawyer before settling on that name and a URL that differs only slightly from an
established, respected entity?

This may or may not be illegal, but it most definitely can be interpreted as an attempt to
exploit an existing name. It's not as odious as the attempts by individuals in the early
days of the Internet to claim "squatter's rights" by registering obvious corporate URLs in
the hope of selling them to the corporation, but you really ought to consider using a name
that cannot be confused with an existing website.
