Teen Pilots Dream Takes Flight
15-year-old girl to fly from California to Virginia
The 15-year-old will attempt to become the youngest black female to pilot an airplane transcontinentally. She took off from Compton Airport for Newport News, Va. at about 7 a.m., Monday.
Kimberly was accompanied in the single-engine craft by Tuskegee Airman Levi Thornhill and safety pilot Ronell Norman. Thornhill was a crew chief during World War II.
They will meet other Tuskegee Airmen at stops along the flight path. Their first stop is in Arizona.
They did such a good thing, Kimberly said of the Tuskegee Airmen. Everything that they did was so amazing. When someones constantly telling you no, when someones constantly telling you that youre stupid, that you dont have the cognitive development, and that you cant do something so good, and you go out and prove them wrong — its just like, wow.
15-year-old girl to fly from California to VirginiaKimberlys flight is part of an after-school program sponsored by Tomorrows Aeronautical Museum (TAM). Kimberly has been part of the program for aspiring pilots since she was 12.
She is expected to arrive July 4.
