Amazing, now who said it is hard to fly.

[Blue Angel]

Ok, this is a perfect example of someone who has a " I want to " attitude.

Makes me feel that sometimes I am ungreatfull for what I have!!!

This is awsome.

I take my hat off to her!!!

[BOATCH]

I wonder how does she keep the ball in the middel cause her two feet look verry bissy at the controls

I cannot see the videos at work. therefore hope there is no duplication.

Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary

Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.

Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."

Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.

With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet..

"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.
Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.

"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."

Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices.

Increddible!!

But how does she operate the rudder pedals or are the yoke and the pedals interconnected?

Should show this to some of the guys standing at the robots with one arm or one leg and bumming for money. Even makes me feeling quilty, sitting here with two perfect arms and legs, but not wanting to work on this Friday afternoon.

Why work if you can fly, I will fly for food and i will beg to fly.

Yes.

As a matter of interest... The Aircoupe she is flying has no rudder pedals! The aeleron and rudders are linked. Bazil Langley and a partner at Fisantekraal have one, original 1940's model which is now undergoing a rebuild. Stunning aeroplane and he tells me it flies beautifully. Only thing it can't do is sideslip.

Incredible achievement on her part none the less!
