“Don’t let the fear of falling keep you from flying.” ✈️✈️✈️
Female pilots aren’t just breaking through clouds—they’re breaking barriers. The sky was never the limit—it’s just the beginning. 👩✈️💪

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.

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.
