Jessica Cox, Right Footed Pilot
National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC
Free, Tickets Required
Please join us for an extraordinary evening with Jessica Cox, the first licensed pilot without arms. In 2008 Cox learned to fly in an Ercoupe, a plane specifically designed 75 years ago as a simple aircraft with coordinated flight controls. In addition, Cox is a black belt in Taekwondo, motivational speaker, author of Disarm Your Limits, and the subject of the documentary Right Footed. Combining her love of flight and desire to be a positive force, she routinely issues the challenge, "If I can fly an aircraft without any arms, what can't you do?" Discover why Plane and Pilot magazine recently named her one of its Top Ten Pilots of the Year.
