Being born without arms has not kept Jessica Cox from living a full life. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license, type 25 words per minute on a keyboard, pump her own gas, put in and remove her contact lenses and eat with chopsticks. She is also a certified scuba diver and a black belt with the American Taekwondo Association.

But what really sets this remarkable woman apart is the fact she is the world’s first licensed armless pilot.
