About The Ninety-Nines
The Ninety-Nines, Inc., is the first and only international
organization of licensed women pilots. From 35 countries,
we currently have over 5,500 members throughout the world.
We are a non-profit, charitable membership corporation holding
501(c)(3) U.S.
tax status. Our International Headquarters is located in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Although there are other female
pilot organizations in
various states and nations, virtually all women of achievement
in aviation have been or are members of The Ninety-Nines.
The organization came into being November 2, 1929, at Curtiss
Field, Valley Stream, Long Island, New York. All 117 American
female pilots had been invited to assemble for mutual support
and the advancement of aviation. Louise Thaden was elected
secretary and worked tirelessly to keep the group together
as we struggled to organize and grow until 1931, when Amelia
Earhart was elected as first president and the group was named
for the 99 charter members.
Today Ninety-Nines are comprised of women who fly purely
for fun, fly professionally for airlines, corporations, flight
schools, and government agencies, or fly their own airplanes
for their own businesses. First and foremost, we are all women
pilots who love to fly!
Our Headquarters is located in a two story
building complex on six acres at the Will Rogers World Airport
in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. This is also the site of our 99s Museum of
Women Pilots, the world's largest collection of records,
memorabilia,
books, photographs, and audio and video tapes on women pilots
from history and today. We also have a museum in Atchison,
Kansas, in Amelia Earhart's birthplace home.
Please stop in if you are in the area. Our
business hours are 9:00 AM to 5 PM Monday - Friday or by
appointment.
