88-year-old UK daredevil breaks record for oldest female plane wing walker
If you have a fear of flying, you'll most likely not enjoy wing-walking, but you will definitely be impressed by it.
Death-defying wonder woman Betty Bromage just broke the record for the oldest female wing-walker in the UK at age 88.
Wing-walking, for those who like to keep their feet on the ground, is a 1920s airshow stunt in which people move around on the wings of a plane during flight. According to BBC, Bromage, who lives in a retirement home in Cheltenham, soared over Gloucestershire Airport strapped to the wings of a vintage biplane.
The former nurse beat her own record she set last year when she was 87. She said the right was a "bit windy" and a "bit wobbly," but she's just a pro that not even a little wind could throw her off her game.
According to Jezebel, Thomas Lackey of Ireland holds the record for the oldest wing-walking person, who was 93 at the time he broke the record, but we think Bromage can definitely swoop in and take this top spot.
