Jessica Cox
World's 1st Licensed Armless Pilot
Jessica Cox has eliminated the words "I can't" from her vocabulary. Born without arms as the result of a birth defect, she has never allowed that to be a limiting factor. Jessica has a Taekwondo black belt, learnt to drive a car with her feet, type with her toes and fly an airplane.
"Think Outside the Shoe"
Add to my shortlistIn Detail
Jessica earned her Light Sport Pilot Certificate and entered the Guinness World Record for the "First Armless Person in the World Ever to Have Obtained a Pilot's Licence". This led to an audience with the Pope, meetings with heads of state, and a great deal of media attention. In the present, she has turned the tables on her so-called 'disability', allowing it to enable her as a motivational speaker and advocate in the USA and beyond. Putting an emphasis on the way we think versus our physical limitations, Jessica has shared her positive message in her travels to more than 20 countries. In the future there is no telling where her feet will take her.
