She passed her Checkride for CFI-Glider!

Our Ninety-Nine member Katie Krapes just added a glider rating to her CFI certificate, which means she can now teach in sailplanes! Instructing is a gift to the next generation of pilots, and we love seeing one of our members take on something new. Congratulations, Katie! We know you worked hard for this goal, and we are so excited for you!!

Honoring a Legacy. 🕊️

At our recent Northwest Section Fall Meeting, Dexter Klock presented the Nancy Overton Klock Scholarship, honoring his grandmother's legacy as an early aviation pioneer and engineer. Dexter brought his grandmother's leather cap and goggles to share and pass around as he announced the scholarship. It was such a treat to be able to see and hold this gear from the early days of aviation. This new scholarship will help local women pursue flight training and engineering studies — carrying Nancy's adventurous spirit forward for the next generation. We will post more details as they become available on how to apply for this scholarship.

Thank you for sharing this with us Dexter, and for all you are doing to advance women in aviation, your grandmother would be proud!

✈️ What a wonderful weekend!
The Eastern Idaho and Idaho Chapters of The Ninety-Nines were honored to host the 2026 Northwest Section Fall Meeting right here in Driggs, Aug. 27–30.

Women aviators flew in (and some got creatively rerouted!) from all over the Northwest Section which includes Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota for a weekend full of meetings, presentations, and a banquet at the Warbirds Museum.

We were honored to welcome Terry Carbonell, International President of The Ninety-Nines, plus guest speakers sharing everything from engine-out emergency stories to the little-known history of Amelia Earhart's 1928 transcontinental flight.

Huge thanks to the City of Driggs, Teton Aviation Center, Civil Air Patrol, the Warbirds Museum, EAA Chapter 1049, our volunteer drivers, donors, and every community member who helped make this weekend unforgettable. 💙
