As part of the 7th Edition of the Governor General’s Cup Caribbean Air Rally (11 to 25 April 2016), Marie-Yves Montima, the first woman pilot Haitian becoming in way to becoming a commercial pilot, proudly wears the colors of Haiti and will land at the official stopover in Haiti on 23 and 24 April 2016.

Selected by Reginald Augustus to receive support from the "Haitian Foundation of Aeronautics Education," she was the first pilot fully funded by the FHEAA to receive his pilot's license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Recently she was invited to attend the convention of the WAI (Women in Aviation International) by Patty Wagstaf, great American star of aerobatic with which she flew after obtaining his Private Pilot License.

Marie-Yves is an inspiration to Haitian youth and the general population. She is proof that where there is a will, there is success regardless of the obstacles.
