'''Jessica Cox''' (born 1983) in Tucson, Arizona, is an American aviator, and motivational speaker.

Jessica was born without arms. However, with a special plane (a Ercoupe, a plane manufactured in the mid-1940s), she recently received her pilot's license, with "one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column."   Her Sport Pilot certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.

"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. He runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.

"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."

Jessica has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Arizona, and a black belt in tae kwon do. She's also seeking a publisher for her life story.
