The oldest man to fly in zero gravity is 97 years 301 days and was achieved by Robert Gordon McAfee (USA) in San Jose, California, USA, on 22 February 2025.
A longtime aviation and spaceflight enthusiast and current member of the United Flying Octogenarians, Robert Gordon McAfee decided to break this Guinness World Records title because it sounded fun and "why not?"
This opportunity was arranged by his granddaughter, Katy, and the experts at Zero G to commemorate McAfee's years of service during WWII, his love for aviation, adventurous spirit and memory of his brother, JG McAfee, who taught him to fly.
