Member Bios

Robin G. (Private Pilot)

Flying was on my bucket-list before the term “bucket-list” was coined. I fly for the adventure, the skill and the endorphin rush of independence once you leave the ground in flight. I began flying out of Santa Paula Airport in summer of 1974 and for the next two years, I hitched a ride as often as possible; then I started my flight training. My favorite airplane to fly is “Taylor Craft”. I became a part of the Palomar 99s in 1982, but didn’t actually join until ’84. I am here for the camaraderie, the friendships and opportunities of flight. I love the diversity found within this organization while this membership allows me to support aviation and women who want the freedom of flight.​

Royce Clifford

Royce is a retired Commander in the US Navy who served as one of the first females as Senior Medical Officer on an Aircraft Carrier. Her passion for flying arose out of fear in 1988, when she was dragged kicking and screaming into private pilot training at Oceanside Airport. Ten years later, she ran off and became a Navy Flight Surgeon, where she flew as co-pilot in F-18s, F-16s, F-15s, F5s, Cobras, Hueys, and Phrogs. Her last flight in the military was piloting a C130 in the Middle East. She currently flies a tame Beech Sierra 200, and has flown the Air Race Classic 9 times, as well as the Lake Havasu 600, Palms to Pines Race, and others.

Breezie Harris

I have been dreaming about flying since I was thirteen years old. When the opportunity arose last year to finally pursue my dream, I could not pass it up. I am beyond honored and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the 99’s and to receive the Fly Now Scholarship. As I continue to embark on this amazing journey, I hope to be an example and an inspiration to all future pilots. The sky is no longer the limit, but our playground. Let’s fly!
