We're excited to have US Air Force Academy Cadet Jaylen Palmer on Talking Flight to share his journey to earning admission to the prestigious Service Academy.

At just 20 years old, Jaylen is our youngest guest yet. His aviation career started early—before even graduating high school, he had already earned his Private Pilot’s License, Instrument Rating, and Commercial Pilot’s License.

Jaylen’s story is a testament to what a motivated and focused young person can achieve, with the added support of an amazing family!

If you are a student who is interested in attending the Academy, Jaylen gives us some great advice on how to make it happen.
