Meet 95-year-old Maria Koltakova, known as the 'Iron Granny' for her daredevil stunts. She performed her first wind tunnel flight in Moscow in February, donning a flight uniform and helmet and being blasted upwards by speeding jets of air. Wind tunnel instructors helped guide the Iron Granny to the very heights of the tunnel as friends and journalists looked on. Maria gained popularity after setting a string of incredible records, including performing her first ever parachute jump at the age of 93, becoming Russia's oldest skydiver.
