San Luis Obispo County chapter history
 

 

Charter Date: 1969, sponsored by Monterey Chapter.

San Luis Obispo County Ninety-Nines fly over some of the most glorious country in the world - from the almond country of Paso Robles to the famous Pismo Beach sand dunes.

We actually grew from Thursday morning coffee-klatch fly-outs and some of us were chapter members of Santa Barbara and Monterey. One day we discovered that enough licensed pilots could be mustered to form a group and in 1969 our northern sisters in Monterey winged their way to our lovely valley to charter us.

We are a small chapter and boast two airline captains, a WASP, and several CFIIs.

We also sponsor The San Luis Obispo (SLO) Derby. This air race is held every October to coincide with Halloween. 1998 is the fourth annual air race.
