# 97-year-old Betty Bromage breaks own world record as oldest wing walker 2026-08-10T22:43:41+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On August 4, 2026, 97-year-old Betty Bromage broke her own Guinness World Record as the oldest female wing walker by strapping onto a vintage biplane in Gloucestershire, UK. The feat came just a year after she suffered a stroke. Bromage first took up wing walking at 87 and has now completed the thrill six times. This year she flew to raise funds for the hospital that treated her. Bromage said she does not want life to become boring and that the word "can't" is not in her vocabulary. The activity is strictly regulated in the UK with professional pilots and modified aircraft for every flight. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Betty Bromage, Guinness World Record, senior adventurers, UK, wing walking Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/97-year-old-betty-bromage-breaks-own-world-record-as-oldest-wing-walker/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
