Mount Shasta 99’s
We are a fun group of ladies who love to fly and want to encourage others to join us and share that joy and thrill!
Our Chapter area includes much of the northernmost part of California. We have members from the Redding area, but we also have members in many of the outlying areas in the surrounding mountain valleys. We need to understand mountain flying and density altitude and we try hard to stay current and safe!
Our Chapter is a member of the Southwest Section of the 99s, and was chartered on June 19, 1975.
Upcoming Events
Traditionally, the annual Palms to Pines Air Race took place each summer at the end of July or beginning of August, with teams flying from Santa Monica to central Oregon (approximately 750 statute miles).
The race ran consecutively for 40 years until 2009, making it the longest-running all-female air race. Each year, anywhere from 30-60 planes participated with teams or solo pilots from all over the western United States. After a hiatus, in 2022, the race returned, now organized by the LA99s.
