Ninety-Nines International Director Heather Grimes opens with a burning airplane in the 1929 Women's Air Derby and traces how twenty competitors became a community that still funds, mentors, and connects pilots today. From Helen Richey and the WASP to Jerrie Cobb and Eileen Collins, the episode shows how access, training pipelines, and workplace structure decide who ends up in the cockpit, then profiles Carrie Worth, Christine "Grinder" Kelley, Western Air's Rolle family, and Sisters of the Skies co-founder Angel Hughes. The back half is practical: diagnosing why training stalls, turning vague feedback into action, mapping every route to the flight deck, and making a mentor request that is easy to say yes to. For CFIs, student pilots, and anyone building a pilot career.
