The members of the Eastern New England Ninety-Nines are women aviators of all levels and pilot experience. Our chapter is part of the New England Section, and the International Ninety-Nines, Inc., an international organization of licensed women pilots.
The Ninety-Nines promotes the advancement of aviation through education, scholarships, and mutual support while honoring our unique history and sharing our passion for flight. The organization was founded in 1929 with 99 charter members, and Amelia Earhart was elected the first President in 1931. Membership was immediately opened to other women as they became licensed pilots.
