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.

Professional Pilot Leadership

This highly-structured, formal leadership and mentoring program is unique. If you are a 99s member with at least a commercial certificate (and be actively flying) pursuing a professional pilot career, or you are an established professional who wants to take your career to the next level, this program is designed for you.

Monthly Events

Come and join our members at one of our events held throughout the year! 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!
