I'm 40 and I can't even drive a car 😢
If she were White, this would have never made the news.
She is from Staten Island
Im sorry, I am not getting into a plane that is being flown by a 17 year old
Why does it say she is from Farmingdale when they keep saying she is from Staten Island?
She got her pilot license in Farmimgdale. And she is from Staten Island.
If you need a proofreader, I am available. And I am really good at it, ABC Eyewitness News. 🙂
She's not even my daughter and I'm very proud of her🏆
wow man, its 2024, and they finally allow black people to pilot planes.
If they had said white European American they would be shouting RACISTS from the roof tops!
I'm not African. I was born in New York. I hate when white ppl apply the African to who we are bc that's how they view us.
That's why I love Philly news. Here they just call us black. And that's the way it should be.
It's Black History Month, not African-American History Month.
Not to mention I have more white in me than black so don't DARE call me that.
ONE WORD GREATNESS
Why can't you just say 17 yr old girl gets her pilot liscence.
15 to take class? i didnt know flying a plane has lower age limit than car
Thats amazing unbelievable yet true congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 for her job well done
Nice,amazing
Congratulations young lady you go girl.
So is she born in Africa then became an American citizen?
Or is she born in America and people keep calling her African-American, which makes no sense!
For someone to be called African-American or Cuban-American, or Italian American meaning they were born outside of the United States, then became an American citizen.
So, she’s just an American who became a pilot and I wish her the best.
What happened to ITALIAN history month?
She’s already doing drug runs
This is not her alone. She has the support of her whole extended family. Looks like half of them are veterans (thank you all for your service) the green jumper suit under her jacket makes me wonder if she is a CAP cadet member.
