FLYING FEMALES: The 23 women pictured above are members of the "99'ers," an all-feminine flying organization that visited Ann Arbor Airport yesterday morning for a quick breakfast. A few of the other halves, officially known as the "49 1/2ers," traipsed along. Most of the visitors came from Michigan communities, but one flew from New York City for the meeting. The airplane in the background is an Ann Arbor insurance man Clarence J. Aprill's Bonanza.
