Armless Girl Gets A Pilot License
Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."
Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.
"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.
Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.
"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."

Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices.

your time in an 8'X10' cell .
AT WORK you spend the majority of your time in an 8'X10' cell .you spend most of your time in a 6'X8' cubicle

AT WORK
you only get a break for one meal and probably
have to pay for it yourself .
you get time off for good behavior.
you get rewarded for good behavior with more WORK.

IN PRISON
a guard locks and unlocks the doors for you
you must carry around a security card
and unlock open all the doors yourself .
IN PRISON
