Who are the 99s?
THE NINETY-NINES, INC., is an international organization of licensed women
pilots from 35 countries - we currently have over 5,400 members throughout
the world. We are a non-profit, charitable membership corporation holding
501(c)(3) US 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.
