Jessica Cox, Armless Pilot, Briefs Aero Club Gathering
From Sun Bird News
“Our plan is to build the impossible airplane.” That’s how Jessica Cox described her plans to partner with Van’s Aircraft Company to build an airplane that can be controlled by only the feet. She spoke to an enthusiastic crowd during the Sun Lakes Aero Club’s Jan. 17 gathering at the Sun Lakes Country Club. Born without arms, Cox earned a Guinness World Record in 2008 when she became the first person to qualify for a pilot’s certificate using only her feet.
