ARMLESS pilot Jessica Cox proved her disability was no barrier to finding true love with husband, Patrick. Five years ago the inspirational 32-year-old became the first female to fly a plane with her feet. And she also became the first armless black belt in the American Tae Kwon Do Association. But closer to home Jessica shows how she has adapted to life without arms - thanks to her fierce independence.

she has a great attitude regarding her unfortunate situation. a person with THAT much drive despite having no arms, can you imagine the amazing things she'd accomplish WITH arms ???! amazing woman

[MaddieMadderson]

I believe I saw her in a book they gave me right before my recent amputation. The picture of her piloting. Gave me hope and courage in a dark time. Such a beautiful thing.

[ziyoghoyengesoko]

Thumbs up to her parents they didn't make her feel limited because of her disability.... They let her be.... She's amazing ❤

[LuckyM]

She has a lot of confidence in herself. A doctor once asked her "what is your disability?" she then replied "I don't have a disability, I just don't have any arms."

[gelesa]

I believe your parents had an extremely important role in the confident woman you are today. They never held you back. I love it! And I just love your spirit!

[MissWhiteHere]

Her foot writing is waaayyy better than my hand writing!! She's awesome!

[TheScropiongirl]

I bow down to her. She has all my respect. 😥👏👏👏

I was in a FedEx in Tucson when she walked in. I was blown away at how effortlessly she used her legs to take her bag off of her shoulder, grab a package from the person at the counter and walk out like nothing! Then she got into a car and drove away...I was SPEECHLESS....that is when the folks at the counter told me she flew planes!.

It is so so important for parents of disabled children to still put their kids in sports and other activities! If you teach them that they can do anything that everyone else can do they will do incredible things

[m.milano]

She does so much more than a person with all their limbs, it's amazing.

[pageantreels]

She proves..everything is possible in life..the only thing needed is dedication and hardworks matters the most!!!💓

The inspirational 32-year-old became the first female to fly a plane with her feet. 

[lornamurray]

its so emotional for me to see this because she has her difficulties but she perseveres and doesn't give up, sometimes that hard for normal people to do so although I don't know her, it makes me proud to know that she believes in herself and has a lot of motivation and hope within herself.

[SakunaSwonaChannel]

She is truly inspiration and very strong will...life is hard but she has lots achievement in life more than some people with arms..I'm so proud to be able to do half of what she dose..being a pilot great job!

[Augurie]

all i kept thinking about was " yup i would get a foot cramp doing that..and that... and definitely that."

[aricmackenthun]

I wish this beautiful and inspiring young lady nothing but the very best for the rest of her life.

[AinRiz]

no words, totally awestruck, respect for jessica

[dianatoguefai]

this is amazing. im quite speechless, she just proved you can do anything if you just hav the right mindset. theres nothing that stops you. you go girl!

[chinelo]

I see her as an optimist. A person that sees the opportunity in every disadvantage.

[lindahappiness]

She is extraordinary it doesn't stop her; she has that drive and ambition than some of us! I applauded her
