The oldest wing walker (male) is Harold Heasman (UK; b: 30 May 1927), who is 98 years and 357 days, as verified at IWM Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK, on 23 May 2026.
Just shy of his 99th birthday, Harry had braved extensive physio therapy over the past year under close supervision of Reef Cowell (his physio therapist). He walked to the plane, perfectly coveralled, climbed on board and was suitably harnessed on to the top wing of a biplane. He wing-walked for a total of 7 min 45 sec from wheels up to touchdown.
