The Ninety-Nines were founded on November 2, 1929, at Curtis Field, Valley Stream, Long Island, New York, by noted aviatrix Amelia Earhart and other early women pilots. All 117 women pilots at the time were invited to assemble for mutual support and the advancement of aviation. The organization took its name from the number of charter members. The membership was international from the beginning and Earhart was elected first president.

The charter date of the Greater Kansas City Chapter is October 24, 1940.

Our mission is to promote world fellowship through flight; provide networking and scholarship opportunities for women, and aviation education in the community; and to preserve the unique history of women in aviation.
