99S Museum of Women Pilots to Expand

03/09/2022
The 99s Museum of Women Pilots in Oklahoma City is expanding into the space formerly occupied by the headquarters of its parent organization, The Ninety-Nines Inc., International Organization of Women Pilots®.

Since 1999, the Museum has been located on the second floor of The 99s headquarters building. When the original headquarters' single-story building became vacant, the organization made the decision to move back into that building, making the downstairs area available for the MWP expansion. "It was obvious that our museum needed more room," said 99s President Corbi Bulluck, "and this decision allows them vital space for display areas, educational programs, work areas, and storage."

The Museum is effectively adding 5,000 square feet to its overall size. A room adjacent to the existing collection storage area will be renovated to meet museum industry standards on environmental control so that all artifacts will be maintained to the highest standards. Items will be shifted into this new space, creating additional exhibit space upstairs. With a larger meeting space and improved technology, the Museum will offer more educational programs for both youth and adults.
 
Remodeling will begin in the next few weeks with the completion date pending construction schedules. The original upstairs display area will not be impacted by the downstairs work, allowing museum visits to continue.
 
Exhibit subjects include Amelia Earhart, the Women's Airforce Service Pilots, and Jackie Cochran.

The 99s Museum of Women Pilots is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization focused on preserving the history of women in aviation, honoring their past contributions and recognizing current achievements.

Located on Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, OK, open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., by admission.
