Nancy Teel and Colleen Crabtree, Tucson 99s members, will discuss "The Flying 99s: Arizona's Women Pilots," as part of the fall 2009 Saturday Speaker Series, "History in the Headlines."

Join us for continental breakfast, followed by presentations that uncover Arizona's unusual tales.

In 1929, Amelia Earhart and her colleagues formed the first and only women's pilot organization. The 99s grew rapidly, with chapters around the world. Tucson's chapter, begun in 1951, still thrives today.
