97-year-old British woman breaks own world record for wing walking

At 97 years old, Betty Bromage has once again defied expectations and shattered her own Guinness World Record, becoming the oldest female wing walker.

It's impossible is not a word in my dictionary.

Bromage, from Cheltenham, England, has a history with wing walking, having previously set the record four years ago. Despite suffering a stroke last year, which left her with speech difficulties, she was determined to push her limits further. Her latest feat involved being secured to the wing of a biplane and enduring maneuvers such as steep dives and 360-degree rotations, all while maintaining a composed demeanor.

"It's impossible is not a word in my dictionary," Bromage stated before the flight, demonstrating her fearless attitude. She ascended to the wing of the biplane with assistance, donned goggles, and waved to the sky before the aircraft took off. The flight included dramatic aerial stunts, with Bromage remaining firmly attached and enjoying the experience.

Life would be too boring if I didn't do this.

Following the successful flight, Bromage was presented with her renewed Guinness World Record certificate. The event also served a greater purpose, raising funds for the stroke rehabilitation ward at Cheltenham General Hospital, where she received care. Hospital representatives expressed immense gratitude for her bold challenge, noting that the donations would significantly aid in purchasing equipment and improving patient and staff experiences. Bromage herself expressed that life would be too dull without such activities, emphasizing her desire to remain active and engaged despite physical limitations.
