By Ben Hooper
July 28 (UPI) -- A 99-year-old California woman broke
two Guinness World
Records when she piloted a plane and gave a flight lesson in the air.
Robina Asti, 99, was named the world's oldest
flight
instructor and active pilot after she gave her final flight lesson Sunday at NextGen Flight Academy at Riverside Municipal Airport.
"I love getting people to experi- ence what it's like to lift off this Earth," Asti told KABC-TV. "It is
so good."
Asti said she wanted to show that senior citi- zens are still capable of mak- ing valuable con- tributions.
The flight instruc- tor took the world's oldest pilot record from an Iowa man who flew a plane at the age of 98.
