Long back Npolean Bonaparte told that " Nothing is impossible to one with a will". Now I see a great example from a handicapped woman- Jessica Cox


Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and
IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary

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.
