SACRAMENTO VALLEY CHAPTER 99s
FLYING ANGELS MEMORIAL AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP
We honor our "Flying Angels" who were members of the Sacramento Valley Ninety-Nines, and who have flown on to New Horizons. Some of these amazing ladies flew in Powder Puff Derbys, were awarded Women Pilot of the Year, held positions on the chapter's Board of Directors, and even Governor! We wish to fondly remember Shirley Lehr (2000), Betty Alair (2000), Juanita Bailey (2010), Corky Cronin (2015), Fran Dickey (2017), Dorothy Flynn (2018), Penny Nagy (2018), and Kristine James (2018).
The scholarship applicant must be a female who is at least 18 years of age, is actively pursuing flight training, has a current medical, and lives within 99 NM of Sacramento Executive Airport (KSAC). Student pilots must have passed their FAA written and soloed. Applicants do not have to be a member of The Ninety-Nines.
