Harry Heasman, who served in World War II, became the oldest person to perform a wing walk, according to Guinness World Records.
The London-born war veteran completed his nine-minute wing walk at Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire on Saturday. During the wing walk, Heasman's plane climbed to more than 1,000 metres (3,280ft).
"It was the most incredible experience of my life and, if I could, I would do it all over again without a second thought," Heasman said.
The British daredevil used the airborne maneuver to raise money for the Lennox Children's Cancer Fund in memory of his wife and son. He has raised £7,500 (or 8,737 dollars) for the Lennox Children's Cancer Fund charity.
Speaking after the flight, he said: "I feel 1,000 times different and 100 times better than I ever have.
"I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child. To finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined."
During his appearance on U.K. daytime television show This Morning, Heasman said he became enthralled with wing walking from watching American circus acts as a youth.
