SISTERS OF THE SKY OVER THE DECADES SINCE 1929
THE FIRST CANADIAN CHAPTER 99S WELCOMES YOU!
The members of the Ninety-Nines are part of the ONLY international women’s pilots’ organization in the world. The organization has been international in scope since its founding in 1929. We currently have over 5,000 members in 45 countries.
A Ninety-Nines membership makes you part of a family, a sisterhood, a unique group of women who share their passion for flight in all its aspects. Membership confers an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of youths and adults, to become part of history, and to share your joy of flight with other women.
Virtually all women of achievement in aviation have been or are members of The Ninety-Nines.
JOIN THE 99'S
The Ninety-Nines is open to all female pilots, who look to inspire, share, learn, and encourage other females who are looking to fly…plus we love to have fun! If you’re a female licensed pilot already – or a student pilot – and enjoy sharing your passion with others, we’d love to have you!
The First Canadian Chapter is part of the East Canada Section, and is the largest Chapter in Canada.
