EUSTIS, Florida – Friends are honouring a Lake County pilot who was one of two people killed in a plane crash this week in South Florida.

He believed that there weren’t enough people obtaining their seaplane rating, and he wanted to change that, according to Juan Londoño.

Londoño is referring to 34-year-old pilot Antony Yen, who resides in Eustis. According to investigators, Yen and another person on board, student pilot Jordan Hall, perished when their jet collided with a Miramar house on Monday.

Manyerenis Moreno claimed to have been inside the house when it crashed, saying, “I thought it was a transformer. I grabbed the baby out of fear that something would fall, and when I got outside, I saw a plane on top of the roof.”

Nationwide, the news shocked Yen’s friends, including Jordan Trickett, who lives close to Seattle, where Yen previously resided before relocating to Central Florida.

“I was in shock because I couldn’t believe it. Tony has always seemed unstoppable to me because, as Trickett remarked, “he was flying virtually every day and doing all this exciting stuff and fulfilling his dream.

Yen’s career as a well-known seaplane pilot, based in Tavares and Mount Dora, was inspired by a dream.

His calendar was jam-packed with classes and seaplane rides because of his excellent personality, according to Londoño. It is challenging to compete with businesses that have been there for so long when you’re in the early 1960s.

A witness claims to have captured on cell phone footage Yen’s plane taking off from a Pembroke Pines airfield.

Reporters were told by airport staff that the plane had just completed a test flight after being out for repair.

Investigators think that before it crashed, there was a fuel leak.

He was a fantastic pilot, but we just kind of have to wait to see what actually caused the disaster before we draw any assumptions, Londoño added.

As the investigation goes on, Yen’s pals keep thinking about the man who, in their words, made them proud and changed the world.

Trickett stated, “Just to see how many people he affected and touched.” It has been huge, and that means so much to me, his friends, and perhaps his family.
