We Can't Wait To Meet You!

Today's Ninety-Nines are women pilots who love to fly. Many fly solely for pleasure; others are professional pilots flying for airlines, industry, and government. Our members are from every walk of life and include flight instructors and mechanics. But first and foremost, we are women who, just like you, love to fly!

Long-time member and former FWP, Faith Hillman,

joins guests Kelsey Lomen, Mindy Jacobson, Leonie Darcel,
and Kelly Stacy at our January 2009 chapter meeting.

Kelsey Lomen (pictured above, second from left) had one of her flights filmed by mentor John Jones. See it at "Kelsey's Flight" January 2010!

Future Women Pilots Program

The FWP Program is designed to assist women in obtaining their Private Pilot Certificates. We provide encouragement, educational events and seminars, and the guidance of other women pilots.

Call, write, or come to a meeting and we will offer to match you with your very own mentor ... someone to applaud the ecstasies and encourage you through the tough times as well. Once accepted into the program, FAA pilot certification must be within thirty-six months to maintain FWP status.

Regardless of whether or not you join the program, the emotional support is immeasurable, and the camaraderie is never-ending!
