From Tuskegee Airmen to Space X
Aviation Explorers and students in TAM's High School Fundamentals of Aviation class were inspired by the history made by Tuskegee Airmen and history in the making on a recent field trip to Space X in Hawthorne.
Levi Thornhill and Buford Johnson, two of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, pass the torch on to the next generation and encourage students to pursue their dreams. Record-breaking Aviation Explorer Kimberly Anyadike, a freshman at UCLA, and Aviation Explorer Alumnus Kelly Anyadike, a junior at Biola University, were among the students that received a tour of the first commercial company in history to send a spacecraft into orbit and return it safely to Earth.
