Houston 99s

Houston Chapter

Ninety-Nines

Ninety-Nines are professional pilots for airlines, industry and government; we are pilots who teach and pilots who fly for pleasure; we are pilots who are technicians and mechanics. But first and foremost, we are women who love to fly!

The Houston Chapter of the Ninety-Nines was formed on July 6, 1983 by several female pilots in the Houston, TX area. Our group has grown to over 100 members and we participate in the Ninety-Nines tradition of airmarking at airports in the local area, poker runs, partner with local organizations to teach and mentor youth, and so much more to promote the love of flight.

The Houston 99s are eager to help the aviation community in the Houston area. The chapter raised over $3500 to help local aviation communities in need during the 2025-2026 year and in 2026-2027, we are aiming to start a checkride scholarship program. Stay tuned!
