Marin County 99s

In Alyssa’s words: “Looking back on our 3-week trip, I realize just what a big deal it was, at least for me. Getting my pilot’s license was a big deal for me, and even flying 100 miles from our home airport is a big deal for me. Going all the way across the country, with all the trip planning and actual flying, was an wonderful learning experience. And unforgettable. We’re so lucky to have done it.”

Alyssa and Dan stopped in Moab to stay with our Marin 99 extraordinaire Cindy Pickett

What fun our get together was! Great energy when a bunch of lady pilots get together, especially the Marin 99s. Above is Jenny Carrico, Sarah Ward and Kenzie Chelemedos with me after being presented their Check Ride Scholarship Certificates. Unfortunately, Maki Honda, the 4th scholarship recipient, could not make it to the party. We congratulate them all!!

Kelise Pasahii came to our party with her mom – At 16 years old, Kelise, a student at Novato High School, is very excited to learn to fly and we are anxious to get her started. She left with a Private Pilot Instruction Manual provide by Barbara O’Grady, our certified FAA Ground School Instructor. Sue gave her a plotter, an E6-B flight computer and two slightly outdated flight sectionals. Kelise cannot wait to go on her first flight!

Our next Marin 99s meeting will be on June 17, so please mark your calendars.

Blue skies and tailwinds!

Sue Royce, Chair, Marin 99s
