Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has passed out first part of her helicopter flying exams, just a month before she had started series of lessons and her tutor believes she is a good natural pilot.
However her tutor, aviation president Keith Douglass makes it clear, "Gisele has not finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam. Now, there is one more step along the way, the practical exam, which is coming up in another week."
He added "She has been doing an excellent job. She is very dedicated. She flies at least three days a week. Flying a helicopter is not easy - it is a handful, because you can not stop flying and just cruise but she is doing great."
In the conversion Douglass admits that model huge baby bump is making her time in the cockpit tricky, as the 29-year-old supermodel is due to give birth to her first child, expecting a daughter, with her American football player husband Tom Brady next month.
Even the model is having huge baby bump, tutor Douglass added "We have pilots that fly right up to the end of pregnancy. She does not go very high, maybe 500 feet or 1,000 feet, which is nothing. She is always close and can get down quickly if she needs to. She is feeling great and looking great. She has been doing an excellent job. But she is almost to a point where she is too big to be flying."
"I love horses. If I could, I would ride the whole day. When I get married, I'll live in the countryside, ride on horses and live among cows, chickens and dogs." - about her love for pets.
