AND WELCOME BACK.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

A 16-YEAR-OLD COMPTON BOY

BECAME THE YOUNGEST TO FLY

ACROSS THE U.S.

I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL

MORNING LONG TO SAY

CONGRATULATIONS.

I GUESS I CAN SAY IT NOW.

AND CONGRATULATIONS.

THAT'S WELL DUE AND MUCH

APPRECIATED.

SO THE RECORD WAS SET AT 9:11

THIS MORNING.

ISAIAH COOPER BECOMING THE

YOUNGEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO

FLY ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL U.S.

SOLO.

HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT YOU

ARE ON GROUND?

IT'S AWESOME.

IT'S EXCITING.

TO SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE, EVEN

THE COMMUNITY, THAT I DIDN'T

KNOW WERE GOING TO COME SUPPORT

ME, IT BRINGS A WARM PLACE IN

MY HEART.

TELL ME ABOUT THE EMERGENCY

LANDING.

YOU HAVE 8,000 MILES, 42 STOPS,

BUT YOU RAN INTO A SNAG IN

CHEYENNE, WYOMING.

WE HAD A MICROBURSTS, MOTHER

NATURE TAKING US AIR TO GROUND

AND I HAD TO DO A HARD CRASH

LANDING.

I MISSED SCHOOLS AND AN

APARTMENT BUILDING .

ONLY 16 YEARS OLD, BY THE

WAY.

WHAT IS NEXT?

SO NEXT YEAR, I PLAN TO BE

THE YOUNGEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN

AT THE AGE OF 18 TO FLY AROUND

THE WORLD.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT 16?

I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING CLOSE

TO THAT.

SO FROM FOX 11, CONGRATULATIONS.

WHAT A GREAT YOUNG MAN TO SHOW

PEOPLE IN COMPTON THAT YOU CAN

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, DREAM BIG,

AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU.

LIVE IN COMPTON.

BACK TO YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

GREAT TO SEE THAT HE
