Feb 4th, 2012
Patti Sandusky (Chapter Chair) and Thuy “Twee” Pieper (flying out of ANE) from the Minnesota Chapter of The Ninety-Nines will be our guest speakers at the Chapter 237 meeting on February 27th. This presentation will be open to any/all women interested in aviation and will be a very informative and fun event.
The Ninety-Nines, Inc., is the first and only international organization of licensed women pilots. From 35 countries, they currently have over 5,500 members throughout the world. Virtually all women of achievement in aviation have been or are members of The Ninety-Nines. Ninety-Nines are comprised of women who fly purely for fun, fly professionally for airlines, corporations, flight schools, and government agencies, or fly their own airplanes for their own businesses. First and foremost, they are all women pilots who love to fly!
