Supervisor Ridley-Thomas honored Kimberly Anyadike — the youngest African American female to fly a plane solo across the country — at last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting. Robin Petgrave, the founder of Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum, was also recognized by Supervisor Ridley-Thomas for his work in helping young pilots like Kimberly.
Fifteen-year-old Kimberly Anyadike of Inglewood became the youngest African American female to fly a plane solo across the country. She took off from Compton Airport two weeks ago and flew to Newport News, Virginia, along with a safety pilot and 87-year-old Tuskegee Airmen, Levi Thornhill (seen with Kimberly in the L.A. Times photo at right).
