'World's oldest wing walker' breaks own record at 93

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 and the noise was quite terrific because of the engine and the wind but he could see lots of sheep, lots of cows and little vehicles moving about like toys.

The unlikely stuntman, who has raised over 1.75 million dollars for charity, first entered the Guinness Book of World Records in 2005 at the age of 85 as the oldest person on top of an aircraft that looped the loop.
