With only one month to go before her due date, it looks as though mum-to-be Gisele Bündchen is well on her way to getting a pilot's license to fly helicopters. “Gisele hasn't finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam. Now, there's one more step along the way, the practical exam, which is coming up in another week,” said Keith Douglass, President of Shoreline Aviation, the company that has been providing flight training for the supermodel. According to Douglass, Gisele “has been doing an excellent job”. He added: “She's very dedicated. She flies at least three days a week. Flying a helicopter isn't easy – it's a handful, because you can't stop flying and just cruise, but she's doing great.”
However, Gisele, who is expecting her first baby with husband Tom Brady, is “almost to a point where she's too big to be flying. She needs to be able to move the rutter around and she's getting there.” But, luckily for the determined Brazilian cover girl, “if you are comfortable and the doctor says it's OK, you can fly until the end of the pregnancy,” said Dougless. “We have pilots that fly right up to the end. She doesn't go very high, maybe 500 feet or 1,000 feet, which is nothing. She’s always close and can get down quickly if she needs to. She's feeling great and looking great!”
