Born without arms in 1983 in the US state of Arizona, Cox has achieved many things. The achievement that got her into the record books was becoming the world’s fi rst licensed armless pilot. She is the only such pilot to be listed in the Guinness World Records . Cox’s list of successes does not stop there. She encourages people by explaining the biggest challenges are the ones we set up in our minds.
