 I love hanging out with 'the boys' at my gliderport, but it's nice to know I'm not so alone. They accuse me of trying to 'girlify the airport!' because I bring Hello Kitty bandaids for the flight desk. However, they never argue with cookies and muffins, and secretly like the flowers. 

- Beth T, Chalfont, Penna

 I've always had a pink flight bag - actually I love Hello Kitty and found her on a pink bag and call it my flight bag. It makes a great theft deterrent and everyone knows it is mine. Really, what guy is going to go in there without being noticed?!?!? 

- Julieann, Ninety-Nines Bay Cities chapter

 I just think this is such as wonderful thing. I enjoy showing off the 'girly' things… Thanks for the wonderful items for women pilots. 

- Debra B, West Virginia

Just because women comprise less than 6% of all pilots, does that mean pilot gear can't be pretty?

We didn't think so, either.

Powder Puff Pilot outfits feminine flyers with gear that:

  • Matches your nails
  • Smells nicer than black leather
  • Is easy to find in the depths of your flight bag

And the best thing about pink gear: Flyboys won't touch it!

Quote Of The Day

  If the nation ever again needs them, American women will respond. Never again will they have to prove they can do any flying job the military has. Not as an experiment. Not to fill in for men. They will fly as commissioned officers in the future Air Force of the United States with equal pay, hospitalization, insurance, veterans' benefits. The WASP have earned it for these women of the future.  

- Byrd Howell Granger, author of "On Final Approach" 1991
