“Wing walking” is apparently kind of like Death Proof on a plane (and without Kurt Russell), and a 27-year-old woman named Ashley Battles set a new Guinness World Record for it on Saturday while flying over San Francisco.

“It was just very forceful winds and constantly uncomfortable and cold the entire time,” said Battle of her almost three and a half hour flight strapped to the top of a 1942 Steerman bi-plane.

Welcome to SF, Ashley! It was that way on the ground, too. Oh, I joke, it was actually pretty nice this weekend.
