Nicole Malachowski, US Air Force combat veteran. Many have found their professional records and career milestones scrubbed from government websites and social media after a presidential executive order requiring the removal of 'DEI-related' content.

In 2010, the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, a prestigious award that recognized their invaluable service during World War II. Their legacy continues to inspire the next generation of female pilots. 🇺🇸 #WASP #ninetyninesinc

March is Women in Aviation Month! Our mission is to empower and support female pilots through mentoring, education, and scholarships, helping them advance in their aviation careers. Join The Ninety-Nines—you’ll make lifelong friends and reach your goals faster!

Jeanne Holm was the first woman to be promoted to Brig Gen in the USAF. In the 1960s and 70s she was a strong advocate for opening more roles to women in the military, including pilot training and combat. She retired as a 2-star.

The airplane doesn’t know your gender!

Dr. Mae Jemison’s groundbreaking journey as the first African American woman in space was not a gift—it was the result of years of hard work, intellect, and perseverance. When she launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992, she didn’t just break barriers—she redefined what is possible.

Looking forward to this movie. Eileen Collins, a member with The Ninety-Nines, is a remarkable woman, who inspired many to achieve their goals, and continues today to motivate and inspire young women to look up to endless possibilities.

On Feb 1, members of the Ninety-Nines sent birthday greetings to Wally Funk. The Fort Worth 99s Chapter went to visit her to celebrate. #skiesmagazine just ran this release. If you don't know Wally Funk, it is worth reading the article. skiesmag.com/press-releas...

Ida Van Smith was an aviation pioneer who learned to fly at age 50 and founded more than 20 flight clubs for underprivileged children across the United States in the 1970s. Now her great granddaughter Toni Paylor is following in her footsteps by getting a degree in aviation engineering at UMd.

December 3, 1937, aviation pioneer Jackie Cochran made history by flying a Seversky SEV-S1 from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, to Miami, Florida. She completed the flight in just 4 hours, 12 minutes, and 27.2 seconds, averaging an impressive speed of 278.13 miles per hour.

"The Ninety-Nines didn't just help fund my pilot's license - their sisterhood taught me to soar. Every woman who mentored me was once a scared student pilot too. Now I get to be that guide for others." - Sarah Help write another aviator's story, #GivingTuesday at www.ninety-nines.org/donation.htm

Congratulations to our newest Private Pilot Vanessa!! Nothing like finishing your rating in sub-zero temps!! We get it done up here in Fairbanks!!

"Girls can't fly!" These dismissive words from her father only fueled Lola Reid Allin's determination. She went on to shatter glass ceilings, becoming Canada's first female Twin Otter pilot - an achievement now celebrated at the Canadian Bush Museum. Talk about proving the doubters wrong! 🛩️

Here are two more airports with 99s members painting a compass rose. Four pilots in the middle of the compass rose first coat at 0W3. Three pilots getting the inside ‘99s’ laid out, at KMTN. Share photos of your airport’s 99s compass rose!

youtu.be/n5xnWbrXH_0 ART FROM THE AIR with Margot Cheel, award-winning photographer, pilot, and arts educator. See the world from a unique perspective. What better way to showcase what’s below than from a view above. It can reveal beauty or fragility; change or connection.

From dreaming of flying as a child to becoming the world’s first armless pilot, Jessica Cox defies expectations every day. Now, designing a modified Vans RV for pilots like her, showing the world nothing is impossible. ✈️ alumni.arizona.edu/arizona-maga... 🔗

With encouragement and support of the Daytona 99s chapter, meet the newest private Pilot, Brooklyn. Congratulations! #womenpilots #the99s #theninetynines #womenaviators

Repost from another group. Burned, inhales some of the spray… “the two women plan to make another attempt Sunday.” These women over the past century walked so we could run, don’t forget that!

ATTENTION…MEMBER ACCOMPLISHMENT Alexis B just passed her commercial check ride!!! Way to go, Alexis!!!!! We are so proud of you!!!

Oops, we created monsters when I asked the Ninety-Nines for recent compass rose paintings they have done at local airports.

We don't get into politics, but, we do post what our members are doing, such as our painting compass roses at airports across the country. Freeman Field, Seymour, IN. Rhinlander/Oneida County, Rhinlander, WI. Amelia Earhart Airport, Atchison, KS. It's always a delight to see them when traveling.
