The 99s Museum of Women Pilots is a special museum honoring over 70 years of women pilots from all over the world. The museum is located on the second floor of the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. Its library and exhibit areas include artifacts belonging to extraordinary women pilots who played important roles in the development of aviation.

Although Amelia Earhart is known as the most famous female pilot, the museum has records of Blanche Scott, who was the first woman pilot in 1910. In 1912, Harriet Quimby became the first licensed pilot to fly across the English Channel. Since then, licensed women pilots have contributed their skills to aviation, including the military, airlines and space. Today, the United States has a workforce with 6% of the licensed pilots as women.
