The San Diego chapter painted a new compass rose at Gillespie Field over the course of two days in April and it looks great! Aircraft mecahanics use an airport's compass rose to swing an aircraft's wet compass. About a dozen chapter members and a few significant others participated in this airmarking project taping lines and painting of the The Ninety-Nines, Inc. compass rose logo design with interlocking 9's on the southwest corner if the airport. Now all who fly in and out of Gillespie can see the functional 'art' by the SD 99s!
