Here is a story of a lady named Jessica Cox, who was born without arms. But that has not stopped her from doing anything.
With one of her feet, she mans the controls and with the other, she delicately guides the steering column.
Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first Sport Pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.
She is a good pilot. She's rock solid, said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. Legs are her hands. " When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, " I knew she would not have problem in flying a plane".

She can swim. She writes with her legs. She learns karate. She can do all the domestic things with her legs.
Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she did not want to use prosthetic devices.
"The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes"- Swami Vivekanand
