Holding steadfast to the harness of his grandfathers biplane , the eight-year-old boy, Tiger flew high to make his way into the record books for being the youngest to wing walk.

Tiger Brewer achieved his acclaim by wing-walking on a 1942 Boeing Spearman biplane flying at an altitude of 1,000 feet and at the speed of 120 mph. The trip was arranged by his maternal grandfather Vic Norman, 61, who runs Team Guinot, the only formation wing walking team in the world.

The young British achiever said, "'The only thing that hurt was the windburn, but apart from that I loved it. I want to do it again now."

The record-breaking flight that lasted five minutes broke the previous record of the youngest wing-walker held by Guy Mason, son of pink floyd drummer Nick Mason, who first wing-walked in 2001 at the age of 11.



Tiger, who was undoubtedly excited by his flight also said that at first he was scared but once he was high up, he started enjoying the whole experience of being "on top of the world."

While his mother Zoe said, "My siblings and I have all grown up doing all sorts of weird things and I wouldn't let him do it if I didn't think it was perfectly safe."

Wing walking is the act of moving on the wings of an airplane during flight, this adventure sport gained much prominence during the 1920s. Meanwhile, young Tiger is still waiting for the Guinness World Records to register his achievement officially.
