Taking a cue from avid flyer Angelina Jolie, the Brazilian beauty, who is expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady next month, is reportedly in the home stretch of earning her pilot’s license, People.com reports.
“Gisele hasn’t finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam,” says Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation, a company that provides private jets and aviation lessons. “Now, there’s one more step along the way, the practical exam [in the air], which is coming up in another week.”
Despite having only one month left before her due date to give birth, the 29-year-old isn’t slowing down.
“She’s very dedicated,” Douglass added. “Flying a helicopter isn’t easy – it’s a handful, because you can’t stop flying and just cruise, but she’s doing great.”
Though she continues to fly “at least three days a week,” Bundchen will soon face an obstacle: her expanding baby bump.
“She’s almost to a point where she’s too big to be flying,” Douglass said. “She needs to be able to move the rudder around and she’s getting there.”
While some skeptics are dubious on the safety of having a pregnant woman fly, Douglass says the Brazilian bombshell is out of harm’s way.
“We have pilots that fly right up to the end,” he said. “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.”
