EVENTS
Ninety-Nines Meetings
In addition to our regular chapter meetings, the Ninety-Nines New England Section hosts fall and spring section meetings for our members! The chapters take turns organizing them, and they consist of many fun activities such as tours of local historical spots, ATC tower tours, dinners at local restaurants, and lots more.
Every year, the International Ninety-Nines holds a weeklong conference, either in the United States or hosted by one of our international chapters. It’s a great way to network and meet new pilots, as well as explore an exciting new area!
Special Events
We’re lucky to be surrounded by many other amazing aviation organizations such as the Maine Aeronautics Association, New Hampshire Flying Association, Vermont Aviators Association, Seaplane Pilots Association, EAA, and Maine ATC. We’re proud to support and work with these groups in our shared mission to inspire and educate.
