At the age of 97, Betty Bromage has become the oldest woman in the world to practice wing-walking. She has performed acrobatics tied to the wing of a flying plane, demonstrating that aging does not stop her from accepting bold challenges. Although she has been affected by vision problems and has given up driving, Bromage has chosen to focus on what she can do.

David Barrell, chief pilot at AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers, described the experience of helping Bromage as a privilege. Her action supported the charitable organization Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity, and Imogen Sims praised her courage and generosity. The quote that inspired Bromage in her career as a nurse emphasizes the importance of not postponing acts of kindness. Wing-walking, an extreme aerial acrobatic, began in the 1920s and has evolved to the present, being regulated for the safety of participants.
