Armless woman becomes first pilot to fly a plane using feet only!
London, Dec 9 (ANI): A 25-year-old woman with no arms has become the first pilot ever to fly a plane using only her feet.
Jessica Cox, of Tucson, Arizona, has amazed family and friends by fighting her disability.
The psychology graduate has qualified as a pilot after three years of lessons in an adapted light aircraft - instead of the usual six months.
Cox can also write, type, drive, brush her hair and lift a phone simply using her feet. She is also a tai kwon-do black belt.
"I never say, 'I can't do that.' I just say, 'Do it'. Flying is the most fantastic feeling in the world," the Sun quoted Cox, as saying. (ANI)
