Gisele And Baby Take To The Skies

Filed Under: Tom Brady Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen might be modeling less due to her bun in the oven, but that doesn't mean she's sitting on the couch eating junk food. In her downtime, the soon-to-be-mommy has been studying to gain her pilot's license!

Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation where Gisele has been learning to fly, says the supermodel "hasn't finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam. Now, there's one more sep along the way, the practical exam [in the air], which is coming up in another week."

When we first heard this, we were a little alarmed at the thought of a ready-to-pop Gisele taking flight. Apparently, however, we worried in vain: Douglass says that flying while pregnant is perfectly fine: "We have pilots that fly right up to the end. She doesn't go very high, maybe 500 or 1000 feet, which is nothing. She's always close and can get down quickly if she needs to."

That doesn't mean that flying preggo is just as easy as flying sans-belly, though; while Douglass says Gisele "has been doing an excellent job," and that "she's very dedicated," he points out that "She's 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."

Still, with her aviation exam coming up in the next week and her due date not for another month, we think she'll still be just small enough to ace the test.

Wonder if hubby Tom Brady will join her in flight??
