Jessica Really is Incredible

Holy cow, what an amazing young woman this is; do read this story!

Arizona -- According to ktar.com, despite being born without arms, 25-year-old Jessica Cox from Tucson has only stopped herself from doing one thing only - and that is to use the word "can't."

She's a black belt in taekwondo and she holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Arizona.

Now, this determined woman has done something almost unbelievable in becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. She uses one foot on the controls and the other guiding the steering column.

Her Sport Pilot certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.
