Jessica Cox: became the first pilot with no arms, proving
you don't need 'wings' to fly

Jessica Cox suffered a rare birth defect and was born without any

 arms. None of the prenatal tests her mother took showed there 

was anything wrong with her. And yet she was born with this rare 

congenital disease, but also with a great spirit. The psychology

 graduate can write, type, drive a car, brush her hair and talk on 

her phone simply using her feet. Ms Cox, from Tuscon, Arizona,

 USA, is also a former dancer and double black belt in Tai Kwon-

Do. She has a no-restrictions driving license, she flies planes and 

she can type 25 words a minute.

The plane she is flying is called an Ercoupe and it is one of the

 few airplanes to be made and certified without pedals. Without

 rudder pedals Jessica is free to use her feet as hands. She took

 three years instead of the usual six months to complete her

 lightweight aircraft licence, had three flying instructors and 

practiced 89 hours of flying, becoming the first pilot with no arms.
