🎃 THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR 2ND ANNUAL PUMPKIN SMASH FLY-IN A SUCCESS! ✈️

A huge thank-you to Castroville Municipal Airport, our volunteers who aren’t even members (yet!), and our amazing ROTC volunteers who came together to make this event such a success! We had an incredible turnout, and we couldn’t have done it without everyone who showed up, pitched in, and helped make the day so much fun.

We’re still collecting pictures from the event, so please feel free to share yours in the comments! We’d also love to hear your feedback. Send us a message with your thoughts and suggestions so we can make next year’s 3rd Annual Pumpkin Smash Fly-In even bigger and better!

Our first photo features our prize-winning pilots and some of our members taking a quick moment to pose between running around and helping wherever we were needed. 😂

CALLING ALL SAN ANTONIO 99s! LET’S SHOW UP FOR OUR SISTERS!

Our sisters in the Austin Hill Country 99s chapter could use our help! The Texas Capital Air Show is November 7–8 at San Marcos Airport, and we’re looking for members who can volunteer their time to support this exciting event.

One of the best things about being part of The Ninety-Nines is knowing that we’re more than individual chapters — we’re a sisterhood! Whether you can volunteer for a few hours or a full day, your help can make a difference.

Let’s show our Austin sisters that San Antonio has their backs!

Thinking about applying for a Ninety-Nines scholarship?

As you prepare your applications, remember that scholarships often ask about your involvement in the aviation community, chapter activities, and the ways you give back to the organizations that support your journey.

Our chapter’s Pumpkin Smash Fly-In is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, and the proceeds help support scholarships for our members!

Volunteering is a wonderful way to get involved, support your fellow pilots, and help ensure these opportunities continue for future applicants.

If you’re planning to apply for a scholarship, this is a great opportunity to show up, lend a hand, and be part of the team that makes these opportunities possible!

We need volunteers to help make this event a success. Every helping hand makes a difference!
