Meet Jessica Cox, an extraordinary woman who was born without arms and became licensed to fly an airplane with only her feet.
Then, meet Robert Newman, a retired educator who has been flying and building planes for decades.
The two came to meet through a stroke of bad luck that turned into a blessing.
Cox, who is from Arizona, has been flying for 18 years. A few years ago, she landed at JFK Airport and her aircraft got jet-blasted.
In need of a mechanic on the east coast, she and her husband called Gene Bunt, a member of the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Chapter 898.
Cox discussed her latest dream with Bunt: building an aircraft specifically designed with modifications to make it easier to fly with just her feet.
Bunt just so happened to know the perfect guy for the job: Dr. Robert Newman.
For the past four years, Newman and his team at EAA Chapter 898 have been building a customized aircraft for Cox at the Ocean County Airport.
And earlier this month, Cox and her husband flew in to see the near-finished aircraft in person.
With a few more additions from engineers and proper inspections, the plane could be flying by next summer.
