# 97-year-old Betty Bromage breaks her own wing-walking record 2026-08-07T02:40:12+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Betty Bromage, a 97-year-old from Cheltenham, has reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the oldest female wing walker after completing her sixth flight. Strapped to the top of an aircraft, she raised money for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital, where she was treated after suffering a stroke in 2025. Bromage said the stroke still affects her speech, but not her determination. Her first wing walk took place at 87, and she plans another challenge for her 100th birthday. Donations from the latest fundraiser will help the hospital charity buy equipment for patients and staff. Bromage said she continues taking on challenges because otherwise she would become bored. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Betty Bromage, fundraising, Guinness World Records, stroke recovery, wing walking Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/97-year-old-betty-bromage-breaks-her-own-wing-walking-record/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
