The Reno High Sierra Chapter of The Ninety-Nines, Inc., was founded by 15 women pilots in 1989. Today, the chapter members include private pilots, certified flight instructors, commercially rated pilots and women simply flying for the sheer joy and pleasure of it all. Many members have also earned balloon, glider and seaplane ratings. We traditionally meet at 7 PM on the fourth Thursday of every month at Sierra Air Center on Rock Blvd. or you can contact us to find out where we’re flying on our next monthly fly-in. You’re welcome to come and join the fun! Contact us at: Reno High Sierra 99s PO Box 12863 Reno, NV 89510 or email us at PIC@RenoHighSierra99s.org
