This is another wonder of the world. An armless lady flying airplane with her legs. But will you allow her to pilot you? A question begging for an answer!
Her Name is Jessica Cox
Born with No Arms at Arizona
World’s First Licensed Armless Pilot; She Flies Aeroplanes with her Feet,
Becoming a pilot wasn’t always a dream for Cox, but after going up in a single engine airplane with a fighter pilot several years ago, she was inspired to overcome her initial fears.
“Being up in the air put me on edge, but that quickly went away,” she said. “It still keeps me on edge, which I like.”
In 2008, after extensive training, she earned her Light Sport Pilot Certificate, and in 2011 she nabbed the Guinness World Record for the “First Armless Person in the World Ever to Have Obtained a Pilot’s License.”
Not only is Cox the first person to fly a plane without arms, but she also holds the title of the first person without arms to receive a black belt in the American Taekwondo Association.
Cox said that while titles and awards are “the icing on top,” they’re not the driving force behind her career path. She takes pride in knowing that she inspires others to see past physical limitations that people tend to put on themselves.
“I do what I do because I love to do it,” she said “and I don’t give up.”
She is indeed a living testimony that Limits Only exist in our Minds!
