Melbourne, August 30: Daredevil Tom Lackey has broken his own record to become the world's oldest wing walker at the age of 93.
Lackey, who was first strapped to a plane's wing when he was in his 80s, was tied to the top of a 1943 Boeing Stearman biplane which flew at around 1,000ft from Scotland to Londonderry before landing safely at City of Derry Airport after a 81 minute journey across the Irish Sea this morning, News.com.au reported.
The former builder called the experience "refreshing" adding that though it was scary, he is thrilled to have broken his own record.
He added that the aircraft was very powerful.
