Chances are pretty good that if you see a giant compass rose beautifully painted at an airport, that a 99s Chapter was there! It would seem as though the compass rose is becoming a trademark of the NinetyNines’ generosity and dedication to service! Pictured here with the new compass rose at the Mesquite Metro Airport are (left to right), Judy Johnson, Melody Dougherty, Chairman of the Dallas 99s, and Chris Swain. This compass rose is a brand new one since the old one was covered with concrete when the airport resurfaced their runway and taxiways. Afte( two days of hard work, this one was completed by the Dallas Chapter of the Ninety Nines on June 30, 1996. The Ninety-Nines provide these compass roses as a service to their fellow pilots and the aviation community in general. The Dallas Chapter also completed the compass rose at the Grayson County Airport on July 13, 1996! OUTSTANDING!
The 99s organization offers mutual support for women in aviation and supports the advancement of aviation. The organization is well known for its involvement in education, charitable and/or scientific activities as they relate to aviation.
