Helga D'Affy, 99, from England, became the oldest woman in the world to perform a wing walking stunt. D'Affy was strapped to a special rig on the upper wing of a plane and flew for about eight minutes at Randcombe Airfield in Gloucestershire. The record was set at 99 years and 21 days. The previous world record holder, Bromage, 97, congratulated D'Affy on the achievement but announced her intention to reclaim the title when she turns 100. The article presents the event as a race between the two, but in reality it describes two separate actions at different times.
