United Youth Aviators Youth Pilots

---

I'm Jerome O'bryant Jr. 19, from Rosedale, Queens N.Y. I started the journey at age 16 and completed my private pilot license at age 18. I was on a trip with my HS to Albany when at the time Assembly Member Tremaine Wright gave me the info about United Youth Aviators. I always wanted to learn to fly as a kid, I love to travel and I find the technology of airplanes fascinating. I am acquiring the hours needed to become a Certified Flight Instructor in the very near future. I plan to help other youth in the UYA program and also become a Captain of an airline. 

I'm Philip Martin 19, from Jamaica, Queens N.Y. I started the journey at 17 years of age and completed my private pilot license at age 19. The opportunity came when Brooklyn Steam Center Principal Kayon Pryce sponsored me with United Youth Aviators and I took off with the opportunity. When I was younger I would fly flight simulators on my PC & soon enough ended up flying a real airplane. My future plans as a pilot is to acquire more flight hours, obtain my instrument & multi-engine ratings & enjoy my freedom, then possibly move into a commercial license.
