Welcome to the Florida Goldcoast Ninety-Nines!
About Us
THE NINETY-NINES
Established in 1929 by 99 women pilots, International Organization of Women Pilots®, also known as The Ninety-Nines, is an international organization that provides networking, mentorship, and flight scholarship opportunities to recreational and professional female pilots.
Headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK, the hub of American aviation, the Ninety-Nines now has chapters around the world.

OUR MISSION
The Ninety-Nines promotes women's advancement in aviation through education, scholarships, and mutual support, while honoring our unique history and sharing our passion for flight.
Our first elected president was none other than Amelia Earhart herself. Members of The Ninety-Nines are represented in all areas of aviation today - and, to quote Amelia, fly "for the fun of it!"
FLORIDA GOLDCOAST CHAPTER
The Ninety-Nines, Florida Goldcoast Chapter geographically covers the area from Broward County Florida, south and east through the Bahamas.
