Pilot Without Arms

25 year old Jessica Cox passed her FAA exam on 10 October 2008, becoming the first-ever licensed pilot without arms. She also has a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and is said to be pretty good with a pair of nunchucks.

Ms. Cox flies an aircraft using her feet; most people with two arms and two legs aren't able to drive and use a cellphone simultaneously.
