We are a non-profit, charitable membership 501(c)(3) corporation. In 1929, all 117 American female pilots were invited to assemble for mutual support and the advancement of aviation. Amelia Earhart was elected president and the group was named for the 99 charter members. Today the Ninety-Nines are professional pilots for airlines, industry and government. We are pilots who teach flying and fly for pleasure. We are women who love to fly and want to share the joy of flying!
