Trade Tech Student Sets Aviation Record
Kelly Anyadike is one of those special students taking classes concurrently at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, while still in high school. On Saturday March 15th, Kelly turned 16 and she celebrated her birthday by setting a record. She became the youngest African-American female to fly solo in four different planes in one day. She flew the planes out of Compton Airport this past Saturday as part of a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen's Los Angeles chapter. Members of the Compton City Council, L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca and some celebrities were on hand as Kelly flew one of her four trips around the airport. She is taking sign language at Trade Tech with Dr. Robinson and also has taken art and speech classes. When not at Trade Tech, she attends the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies, and plans to attend UCLA to become a vascular surgeon. 080317
