Gisele is one step closer to getting her wings after passing the written stage of her pilot exams - despite being heavily pregnant.
The supermodel is desperate to become a helicopter pilot and isn't letting the fact she's expecting her first child in just a few weeks get in her way, reports People.
Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation, told the mag: "Gisele hasn't finished her licence 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."
He said the 29-year-old catwalk queen is "very dedicated" to honing her cockpit skills and goes up in the chopper at least three days a week.
When she passes her test, Gisele will join an elite group of stars qualified to take to the skies including John Travolta and Angelina Jolie.

So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
