Gisele Bundchen: Ready to Fly
It looks like she’s ready to add “pilot” to her resume - Gisele Bundchen has nearly completed her helicopter flight training regimen just in time to give birth to her baby.
The 6-months-pregnant supermodel has been training to be a pilot outside her new hometown of Boston. Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation told press, “She’s been coming to the airfield for a couple months and she started her lessons a few weeks ago.”
Douglass continued, “She’s gung ho about learning to fly. She’s one of the best students we’ve ever had. She’s excellent at learning and understanding what makes the helicopters fly. She knows all the rules and regulations. She’s fantastic at flying the helicopter. She is very smooth and professional and she listens.”
And it sounds like Gisele is cleared for takeoff until November, per doctor’s orders. “She wasn’t nervous at all. I asked her. But she can fly into November – that’s when the doctors told her to stop, because she’s due in December. It only becomes an issue when they can’t comfortably get in and out of the airplane or the controls can’t be moved where they should be. They don’t fly that high anyway in a helicopter so there are no big pressure changes.”
Enjoy the pictures of Gisele Bundchen out for UNEP duties over the past weekend (September 20).
