British Collector Sets Guinness World Record on Airplane Wing
Colby Bull, a British collector, achieved a Guinness World Record by opening seven packs of trading cards while strapped to the wing of a flying aircraft.
On October 13, Colby Bull, a London-based collector and founder of Edition One, successfully set a new Guinness World Record for the most trading card packs opened in one minute while in mid-air. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the stunt took place at Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent, England. Bull secured himself to the wing of a 1940s-era Boeing Stearman biplane using safety harnesses while the aircraft flew at an altitude of approximately 600 feet. During the flight, he faced wind speeds reaching 193 kilometers per hour (120 miles per hour) while successfully opening seven packs of cards without losing any contents. This unusual feat highlights the extreme lengths to which collectors will go to gain recognition. For travelers and residents interested in aviation or record-breaking events, this story serves as a reminder of the specialized safety protocols required for such high-risk aerial activities. While the record has been officially recognized, details regarding the specific certification process by Guinness World Records for this unique category remain a matter of public interest.
