The 99s

The 99s is an organization of women pilots founded in 1929 to support women in aviation. It aims to promote aviation careers, provide networking opportunities, and encourage safety and education among women pilots. Named after the idea that women pilots make up about 1% of the total pilot population, the name reflects their goal of increasing female representation in aviation fields. The organization offers mentorship, flight training, and advocacy to help women achieve success and recognition in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
