Zone1 The Youngest Black Woman To Obtain A Pilot’s License At 17-Years-Old Continues Studies At HBCU

[Lisa558]

What’s so pathetic? We all said it was impressive that a 17-year-old girl got a pilot’s license, regardless of race.

There really is no debate here. Not sure what your intent was.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

Why pick out her color and sex?

She's an intelligent human being with actual life goals. That should be enough for a party in her honor!!!

Always good to see young people excelling and pursuing their dreams. And of course I have a soft spot in my heart for black girls pursing their dreams and careers in the same fields I've entered.

By the way, I'm not sure if all of you are aware that you need to have a college degree in order to fly for the airlines although I'm not sure if this requirement holds for military veterans.

Kamora Freeland first made news last year when she became the youngest Black woman to obtain her pilot’s license at 17.​

​

The accomplishment trailblazer is continuing her studies at an Atlanta HBCU famed for its all-women student body. Freeland started Spelman College as a sophomore, securing enough college credits to qualify as a second-year student.​

​

On attending college, Freeland called it a “whirlwind of emotions” but hopes to discover more about herself in the experience.​

​

“Starting college as a sophomore has been a whirlwind of emotions—exciting, overwhelming, and liberating all at once,” Freeland told the Advance/SILive.com. “It’s like stepping into a whole new world where you’re figuring out who you are, balancing independence, and navigating friendships, academics, and late-night study sessions.”​

​

After obtaining her pilot’s license last year, Freeland knows her path is a bit untraditional. Although she originally wanted to explore the ocean, her knack for the skies began after a flight lesson in 2021.​

​

“I earned my pilot license before I got a driver’s license,” she jokingly told the New York Post last March.​

​

The Staten Island teen reigns as the youngest pilot in New York and remains one of the youngest in history to receive a pilot’s license.​

​

It’s amazing,” said Freeland, who graduated from high school last year. “I never wanted to be a pilot, but after my first flight, I was like, ‘Wow! I could do this for a living.’ ”​

​

Since last February, Freeland has been legally qualified to fly a plane carrying up to 12 passengers.​

​

She also told the Post, “I love flying, and I have a passion for it. Plus, pilots can make up to $700,000, so that caught my attention, too. The next step is to become a commercial airline pilot.”​

​

However, Freeland currently majors in finance with a minor in entrepreneurship at the HBCU. Whether or not she will continue on the commercial airline pilot route remains unknown, but with her pilot experience already started, Freeland can still hit the skies as she feels.​

Very cool

The OP is an institutional racist and sexist. All topics must be relegated to those elements.

We actually need to petition the Mods to reopen the Race Forum for white haters, now, try posting on topic.

I just posted directly to the topic. It was about gender and race. The OP made it so. Get your head out of your conditioned behind and try applying analysis.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

OP once again unnecessarily injecting race and gender as a wedge.
A 17-year-old acquiring a pilot’s license while going to school is not that far-fetched. The OP seems to think that happening for a black or female is. She is suggesting blacks and females are inferior.

More power to her! Amazing young woman.

I didn't even know how to drive a car at that age!

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Pilots are just better people than those who aren’t.

So nice to see a young one.

.

In my late 30's/early 40's, my husband encouraged me to think of learning to fly. I probably should have taken him up on it.

I considered it for a short time as a teen. Then I started riding motorcycles and fell off once or twice. I figured that I would only get to "fall off" once as a pilot and figured I didn't want to take that chance. LOL

Racists always do.

Explain how. My post was clear and in response to a race obsessed self-segregating poster. How is being opposed to racial segregation racist?

Only an intellectual inferior would the OP and that that article is in any way controversial.

I made a similar comment - that there’s nothing to debate, and that a teenager getting her pilot’s license while simultaneously attending college is an impressive accomplishment.

OP’s response? She came at me, saying that Jews have all sorts of “white privilege.” I mean, wth?!

It's not worth your time to engage an idiot like that.
