Nicole Whitehead is the Playboy Playmate for May 2004. Licensed pilot Nicole Whitehead � yes, she flies airplanes � is absolutely fearless. �The first time I flew a plane was also the first time I went skydiving,� says the 23-year-old. �I literally dived out the plane door � they couldn�t open it fast enough. When I was free-falling I could see all this amazing scenery at one time � the ocean, the city and the area where the NASA shuttles take off. It was so pretty, I think I started to cry.� Back on solid ground, Nicole, with ample Southern charm (she�s from Alabama and lives in Florida), explained to the pilot that while skydiving was a trip, she would be even more excited actually flying the plane. How could he resist? �He took me up and let me take the controls,� she says. �It was the best day I ever had. I knew right then that I had to fly for a living.� Nicole earned her pilot�s license in August 2003 and is currently chalking up solo flight hours.

Meanwhile, to help pay for flight school, she works at a local bar (most requested drink: Alabama slammer), models (you may have spotted her on the 2001 cover of Playboy�s Natural Beauties special edition) and steals the spotlight in music videos (in Ricky Martin�s �She Bangs,� she dances � or bangs � herself into a frenzy). While definitely a girl on the rise, Nicole isn�t going after red carpet megafame. �I would be perfectly happy flying other celebrities around the world rather than being one myself,� she says.
