Another UNBROKEN woman

This article came to me from my friend Chuck. The story is not my own-I only copied and pasted it. I am unaware of the original author as it was an email fwd. But I had to share this great story. You meet AWESOME people everyday. See below!

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.




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.


Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms,

but that has only stopped her from doing one thing:

using the word "can't."



WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A Way

How awesome is she??!!!!!



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 .


"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.




So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself,

"I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman

and change your vocabulary.
