Touching the sky without arms


Jessica Cox was born in 1983 is the world's first licensed armless pilot, as well as the first armless black-belt in the American Taekwondo Association; she now has two black belts in Taekwondo.
Jessica Cox was born without arms as a result of a rare congenital disease
Like every child, she did not understand why she had no arms as did the other children
“It was difficult to be different.”

Regardless of that, she took part in different activities such as gymnastics, dancing and singing, frequently participating in large presentations
Jessica, 26 years old and 1.55 meters tall, is the first lady in history to pilot a plane without arms.
This inspiring lady and heroine for numerous persons, radiates always joy and as proof of having a great sense of humor ; on Mother’s Day last year she flew alone by herself without anyone accompanying her, dragging a notice board saying simply : “Look Mom, without arms !”
