Betty Bromage is an 87-year-old woman who has been described as fearless.
The aged woman, a fearless pensioner, has become Britain’s oldest female to wing walk or stand on a moving plane
According to The Sun UK, Betty was strapped to the wings of a 1944 Boeing-Stearman biplane for the death-defying stunt.
Betty, who lives in a retirement home in Cheltenham, Glos, took to the skies at Gloucestershire Airport.
The pensioner raised over £1,100, with all the money going to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
She said: “I had a wonderful time, and being a retired nurse, am happy to support the Air Ambulance in their work that I have seen first hand.
“I am now looking for my next challenge.”
Margaret Winterbourne, who works at Betty’s home Abbeyfield House, said: “Betty enjoyed the exhilaration of her flight over the local countryside.
“Her family, friends and fellow residents looked on with apprehension, then relief when she landed safely and happily.”
Susie Godwin, fundraising manager for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity in Gloucestershire, said: “This is a wonderful challenge that Betty Bromage undertook.
“We are very grateful to Betty, her family and friends for bringing in much needed funds to keep our Air Ambulance operational, 365 days a year, Saving Lives by Saving Time”.
