Gisele Bündchen Learning How to Fly
Posted by Adam
Gisele Bündchen is learning how to fly a helicopter.
The Brazilian supermodel — who is six months pregnant with her first child — is in training with husband Tom Brady outside her new hometown of Boston.
“She’s been coming to the airfield for a couple months and she started her lessons a few weeks ago,” says Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation, a company that provides private jets and aviation lessons.
“She’s gung ho about learning to fly. She’s one of the best students we’ve ever had,” says Douglass. “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.”
“She wasn’t nervous at all,” says Douglass. “I asked her. But she can fly into November — that’s when the doctors told her to stop, because she’s due in December.”
Flying while pregnant is considered fine, Douglass adds. “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,” he says. “They don’t fly that high anyway in a helicopter so there are no big pressure changes.
“She’ll probably have her license in a month.
“She’s on the controls. She flies it off the ground and away she goes. She brings it back in, lands it perfectly. She’s doing a wonderful job.”
