With full of hope and determination that she can do anything that people with arms can do Jessica Cox, 33, becomes the world’s first licensed pilot with no arms.
‘There’s nothing that can substitute the tactile ability of flesh and bone – and my feet have that ability,’ she said.
The feat has gained her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Born in the American state of Arizona, Cox was also the first armless black belt in the American Tae Kwon Do Association and has learnt to surf and played piano.
She married Patrick Chamberlain, 30, who was an instructor he met at the school, proving that her disability would not be a barrier to love.

She said: ‘Naturally people saw me not having arms as a limiting factor – but I was there to prove them wrong.
‘At three years old I was involved in gymnastics, at six I started tap dancing lessons, I did modelling, I swam at five, 10-years-old I was doing Tae Kwon Do, I did every activity you could imagine.’
Five years ago Jessica met her husband, Patrick Chamberlain, through their mutual love for Tae Kwon Do.
