(99s), an international organization of women pilots, met Sunday at the Mirmripai Airport in Richmond, Ind. The yearly tri-state meet. ing (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, with guests from Illinois and Kentucky) included a spot landing contest, glider rides and a display of new aircraft. Founded in 1929 when there were only 117 licensed women pilots, the 99s took their name from the 99 women who answered the call to organize. Purpose was to promote women in aviation and to benefit aviation in general.

Amelia Earhart suggested the name and became the illustrious first president. This famed international organization is made up of women from all walks of life. Some fly for pleasure or represent the business and professional world. Others are "household executives" (housewives). Some earn their living in aviation as airport operators, charter pilots, aerial photographers, crop dusters, airline dispatchers, etc.

Cornering several 99ers brought these comments: MRS. ETHEL KNUTH OF is opening up a whole new world for older women--youngsters don't have the money to fly. So many persons don't know what they are missing not having had the wonderful view of the world from the sky. They've missed a whole section of their education which I hope will be made possible for youngsters of today and the future. I meet young women today who think of Amelia Earhart in terms of luggage! I fly for many reasons--one, that it makes it possible for me to fly to California to see my grandchildren." (Mrs.

Knuth completed in the July Powder Puff Derby held at Chatanooga). MRS. VIRGINL4 SCHUMAKER OF SPRINGFIELD, real estate investor: "I like to mention Zaddie Bunker of Palms Springs, Calif, who started to fly at 65, operated a multi-engine plane at 66, was flying jet at 67 and, reportedly is still active at about 77 I plan to use the aero- plane instead of the rocking chair in my 'golden years'. An aeroplane is a necessity (Since she is flying a Piper Commanche, which cruises at 180 miles per hour, Mrs. Schumaker is working on her instrument rating).

MRS. SAMMY McKAY OF GRAND BLANK, I am thrilled with my Cessna 210, a 25th weeding anniversary present from my husband." (Mrs. McKay has flown in the Powder Puff Derby). MRS. KARL LEER OF XENIA: "One of the factors holding back aviation today is the woman afraid of flying who influences her husband.

Fear is a very real thing. In her anxiety, ignorance, and apprehension, she forgets about the automobile hazard, not realizing she would be statistically safer in an aeroplane. It is disappointing that 85 per cent of the population of 20th century America has never been in an aero- plane and that a mere 2 per cent of the 250,000 American licensed pilots are women." (The Lehrs now own a Beech Bonanza, before that flew a Cessna 170-B). MRS. L.

B. BONAR OF MANSFIELD: "We're not professional fliers, just a flying couple who loves to fly and use a plane to get around the country quickly. My husband is a practicing gynecologist, has been flying since 1935.1 began flying in 1942, My husband makes medical meetings, I shop, race, visit around the country, in our Beechcraft Bonanza." (Dr. Bonar belongs to the Flying Physicians Association.) MRS. CLARA THARPE OF FATOBORN and MRS.

JOHN (EDY) MAXIM OF CLEVELAND were among the most vocal 99ers critical of comments made in the August issue of the magazine "Flying." (Editors' and contributors' ears should have been burning Sunday) "Look around this group--do you see ANYONE dressed in clothes remotely resembling that 'wild flying on the cover page?" "We challenge such statements as lack mechanical aptitude, present irrational behavior in emergencies whatever short-comings we have, the several thousand women pilots who are not in the air are pretty good their skills are high, their safety record excellent, their judgments worth respecting "We're not competing with men flying is no more a masculine activity than medicine, law or other scientific pursuits today's women defy male generalities about the limitations of women we prescribe to the philosophy that it is unlikely there are activities beyond our capabilities women of today feel free to engage in almost any pursuit Some of us love to fly just as some men love to WELCOME 1 old friends at the 99s meeting Sunday are from left, City Mgr.
