CAMEROON'S FIRST FEMALE PILOT

This is the finds of all finds for moi and I am sooo (see how I stressed this?) excited to tell you all about it because first of all as you know DC is run by females and we are from a society where women are always pushed to the background.

Now check this:-))

Christine Njeuma Cameroon's first female pilot in this male orientated profession was hired by Cameroon airlines in 2001 as a First Officer and flew the Boeing 737 regularly between Douala and Yaounde and Douala and Malabo in Equatorial Guinea.

She obtained her flying qualifications at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach, FL) as well a Master's degree in Airlines Operations and Safety here too. Prior to this, she obtained a BA in French and Spanish at the University of Florida.

After working with Camair for nearly 4 and a half years, she moved to the Canadian Helicopter Corp as a Fixed Wing Pilot / Co Pilot on the Twin Otter DHC-6. Here she lasted nearly 3 years before moving back to Cameroon and working as the First Pilot aboard the Fokker 28 from early this year.
