and then attend a university in aerospace engineering

yes you can. you can figure out which Uni. you wish to attend, and figure out what the general education requirements are for the aerospace engineering major. then you could take all of those classes at the community college, go to the university, and dive straight into your aerospace work with no distraction classes on the side, all though you *may* have trouble getting financial aid if you can't attend full time due to scheduling issues. and that may not even be a problem for you.
also, many community colleges also tailor their programs for students just like you who want to start at the community college and go into a university once they are done there. most will also have guidance/advising offices there with all the information you need concerning most of the public and private schools in your state.
another advantage to the comm. college is the high percentage of adult students you will encounter. today, more and more adults are returning to school. you will find that adult students on average are MUCH better students than fresh-out-of-high-school students. use that to your advantage: study with them, work in their groups. being around that kind of motivation is infectious, and you will be a better student as a result.
also, its a much cheaper alternative for an education if you are in an exploratory mode (which you aren't) because you're unsure which major to pursue.

You can take your core classes at the community college. Then go to a good engineering university to get your degree in aerospace eng.

Yes.
You can save loads of money by getting two years worth of college out of the way at the community college.
It will not be as PRESTEGIOUS but who cares.
Check the university that you want to go to and work with them, they will actually help you determine which classes to take at community and what credits will transfer.

Yes.
If you know what university you'll be transferring to, get a copy of the degree requirements for your major. (If you don't know yet, check the requirements at one that you are considering.) Pay particular attention to the lower division courses. Take as many comparable courses at the community college as you can.

Of course. Community colleges are designed for you to get your undergraduate work out of the way (and for a fraction of the cost of a university).
