International Organization of Women Pilots
The Manitoba Ninety-Nines is a chapter of the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots that promotes advancement of aviation through education, scholarships, and mutual support while honoring our unique history and sharing our passion for flight. Established in 1929 by 99 women pilots, the members of The Ninety-Nines, Inc., International Organization of Women Pilots, are represented in all areas of aviation today.
Locally, we organize events including: Poker Derby, Airshow, world record breaking Women Fly Career Fair, regular tours of local aviation-related industry, study buddies and tutoring, free “pilot learners licence’ classes, free flights and workshops such as introduction to aircraft maintenance and winter flying tips. In addition we socialize, plan long cross countries together, and partner with the aviation industry producing a calendar and Women Fly dress t-shirt we sell to raise funds for our scholarships. We connect and support women interested in all aspects of aviation on our Facebook page

The Manitoba 99s own our own Cessna 150, C-FLUG, thanks to the generous donation of Bill Vandenberg, AMEs Jim Aitken and Leon Woychuk, and from the Winnipeg Chapter of the RAA and the National RAA. The purpose of C-FLUG is to provide women pilots with an economically feasible opportunity to stay current, build hours, connect with airline pilots and get to know other pilots. C-FLUG has played an important role enabling First Officers to build the Pilot in Command hours needed to become Captains; private pilots to build the hours needed to earn advanced ratings; and pilots who don’t own a plane to stay current.
