Yep, I find it very interesting that a person can get a pilots license at 12 years of age(at least that was used to be the cutoff age) but must be 16 to get a drivers license and, in some states, drive with an adult until they are 18. I will never lodge a protest however because the dems response would be to raise the age requirement for Pilots! They always get it backwards.
If I had a plane and I was in Compton I would get the hell out of Compton.
Uhhh, “solo” means “1”, as in “alone”!
She is believed to be the youngest African American female pilot to fly solo across the country.
Then the writer writes,
Kimberly Anyadike took off from Compton 13 days ago with an adult safety pilot and Levi Thornhill, an 87-year-old...
Amazing that the writer went to collage to become a journalist.
PS. you have to be 16 to get your pilots license.
Congratulations to the young lady! But how I detest divisive terms like “African American!” Maybe we should all run around distinguishing ourselves by our heritage, in which case I’d be an English-Irish-Scots-Welsh-German-Cherokee American instead of simply an American.
The multiculturalists have worked hard over the past 30 or so years to turn Americans against each other. They have nearly succeeded in reversing the meaning of e pluribus unum (from the many, one). And we all know the age-old military maxim: Divide and conquer.
Congratulations to the young pilot.
“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.”
Only 15 and she is already in the I-hate-whitey mode.
Didn’t a young gal try this a few years ago and died in a plane crash doing it.
At the time i thought rules were being changed so it would not be done again.
This is a sweet story, but as time goes on we will start to see “She is believed to be the youngest African American female with three toes and four fingers and a birthmark on her right cheek in the shape of a rectangle pilot to fly solo across the country.”
I mean good grief. She did a really awesome thing! No need to go into all her ‘handicaps’ as to why this is even better.
Just my opinion.
Uh. It's not "solo" if you have a safety pilot.

A war hero mentoring a 15 year old with ambitions. God bless them both.
Is this part of the new federal program, Midnight Barnstorming?
Later, the plane was found sitting on blocks with the battery and the stereo missing.
