Foolish Girls!

Walking on the wings of flying aircraft (Stearman Biplanes) indeed!

Didn't their Dads warn them against this kind of thing? Mostly, they have harnesses, but sometimes they unlock to wander around and change position. The girls perform feats of acrobatics on the wings that are far beyond anything I could do on terra firma.

This is the world's only aerobatic formation wingwalking team. UK based AeroSuperBatics have been specialists in display flying for over 27 years and operate one of the best known and loved civilian air display acts in Europe. The wingwalking team has performed at over 2500 different events successfully representing several large brand names in the form of very high profile sponsorship deals.

These wingwalkers are seen live by over 6 million spectators each year in the UK alone. They perform a breathtaking sequence of acrobatic manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped (most of the time: my comment!) to the top wings of the team's beautiful Boeing Stearman biplanes. The team pilots fly the aircraft through a well rehearsed energetic routine of dazzling aerobatics and close formation flypasts as the wingwalkers wave at the crowd. These manoeuvres include loops, rolls, stall turns and even inverted flight! During all of this, the wingwalkers experience speeds of up to 150 mph and 'G' forces of up to 4G!

Foolish, indeed! But very skilled and superbly coordinated.

Now, as promised,

My photographic record of the day...

And, in case you missed it, here is Friday's!
