Unbelievable but true!15-Year-old Nigerian girl, Kimberly Anyadike becomes youngest pilot to single-handedly fly cross the USA

Anyadike learned to fly at age 12
through the Compton-based
Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum,
which offers aviation lessons in an
after-school program for
disadvantaged youths, the Los
Angeles Times reported. It was their
plane that she flew on her cross-
country trip.
The brave teenager came up with the
idea for the trip on her own, the
museum’s founder, Robert Petgrave,
told the Times.
“I told her it was going to be a
daunting task, but she just said, ‘Put
it on. I got big shoulders,'” Petgrave
said.
Along for the historic ride were an
adult safety pilot and 87-year-old
Levi Thornhill, one of the Tuskeegee
Airmen during World War II.
“They left such a great legacy,”
Anyadike said of the U.S. Army Air
Corps’ all-black combat unit. “I had
big shoes to fill. … All they wanted to
do was to be patriots for this
country. They were told no, that they
were stupid, that they didn’t have
cognitive development to fly planes.
They didn’t listen. They just did what
they wanted to do.”
About 50 Tuskeegee Airmen
autographed the young pilot’s plane
during her journey, the Times
reported.
“I wanted to inspire other kids to
really believe in themselves,”
