The supermodel mom-to-be has passed the written test -- a multiple-choice exam covering regulations, navigation and aeronautics -- necessary to earn a helicopter license, the Boston Herald reports.
"She is one of the best pilots I've seen in a long time," Shoreline Aviation president Keith Douglass said of the star, 29, who has been taking chopper lessons at Massachusetts' Marshfield Airport for two months.

According to Douglass, Bundchen -- who is expecting her first child with hubby Tom Brady, 32, around Christmas -- is hoping to get her license so that she could have a shorter commute between Boston, where the couple lives, and New York City, where she often works.

Before she can be fully licensed, Bundchen must complete 20 hours of flight lessons with an instructor and then 10 hours of solo flight. An additional 10 hours of either dual or solo flying is required for pilots, like Bundchen, who don't already have a certificate to fly airplanes.

6He would be a fool if he stayed. She tried to trap him. Remember?
She's so gorgeous.
Gisele is not an attractive woman at all. She may somehow make a fortune but I find it hard to understand how on earth anyone could consider her attractive. Her face is not pretty and she is so bony that she looks undernourished and anorexic. Christie Brinkley, on the other hand, had actual curves and was (and is still) truly beautiful. Her bones didn't stick out. If Gisele is what men consider to be "beauty" then healthy-looking women of NORMAL weight and proportions are in trouble. It looks like it has been a long time since Gisele had a decent MEAL! Tom's previous girlfriend and the mother of his first child is gorgeous and he is a FOOL for letting her go!
Team Gisele!! She's beautiful!!
gisele is a..."thing"?the fashion editors and designers and the rest of the world doesn't share your opinions...her mulitple millions a year contracts are a proof...
