Pilots. We are a diverse group of women spread throughout the world with one
glorious thing in common – we hold licenses to fly helicopters.The Whirly-Girls organization is a non-profit 501(c)(3), educational and charitable organization dedicated to advancing women in helicopter aviation through the industry’s largest pool of annual scholarships, while providing women helicopter pilots a forum for the exchange of information and opportunities. Membership is open to all women around the world who are rated helicopter pilots. In December 2007, we registered our 1,500th Whirly-Girl! Our members represent 45 countries. Whirly Girls may visit the news for members page to see our latest additions.
Become a Member
Whirly-Girls was formed in 1955 by Jean Ross Howard Phelan, who wanted to
build a community where female helicopter pilots could share and grow. Today
it has grown to include the largest source of scholarships for female helicopter
pilots. Membership is open to any woman with a helicopter license. Additionally,
the Whirly-Girls Auxillary is available to those who are not eligible for
regular membership. Membership affords you access to exclusive areas of
the website, including job listings and networking opportunities.
