All are welcome at this wonderful annual community event ! Come take an airplane ride for just 25 cents a pound of your own weight. (minimum $15, maximum $40).

The tradition of pilots giving airplane rides to the public for just a penny per pound of a passenger’s weight started in the 1920s.  Many aviation groups today provide pennies-a-pound airplane rides to members of the community to entice their passengers to consider exploring or supporting the world of aviation (although prices have increased since the 1-cent-per-ride events held in the 1920s)!  The Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of The Ninety-Nines is proud to continue this tradition as a way to exemplify the role of women in aviation, instill in passengers an appreciation for the wonders of flight, and demonstrate to the community a respect for working together to further the cause of general aviation.
