      Very cool to set out and do what you want to do no matter what obstacles you are faced with.

      However, I do not see this as safe or would let her fly me anywhere.

      I would be pretty nervous too....everything might go OK while the weather is calm, but let it start getting ugly up there while flying over the mountains, and I have to wonder if those feet and toes will work out as planned.

      I still commend her for going after everything in life full throttle. She seems to accomplish everything she sets her mind to do. Playing the piano is quite a "feet" in itself.

      Very cool, but it's odd to watch how adept she is with her feet and legs. She actually moves very differently than "normal" people. But I guess when you spend a lifetime doing anything, you become pretty good at it.

      Very cool. There is one thing thogh. SHe is flying an Aerocoupe. It is a plane without rudder pedals. So it allows her to do what she does. She clearly does what she does well. There is still lots to do in a plane even without those pedals.

      Good eye Stickman. I picked up on that right away too. Regardless, she still gets to enjoy flying!
