What Can I Expect

Up the ante with aerobatic wing walking! For these advanced wing walking experiences, you will be standing on the wing…whilst the plane performs stunts. We're talking proper, full-adrenaline aerobatics.

To be eligible to become an aerobatic wing walker, you need to have already done a standard wing walk (either at the locations offered here, or anywhere in the UK), or opt for the Zero to Hero voucher to include both flights. 

Just imagine climbing up and onto the wing of the vintage Boeing Stearman. Safely strapped in with the CAA approved five-point harness, you'll hear the words ‘clear prop' and off you go. Even having walked the wing before, the anticipation and excitement never waivers. As your goggles press against your face and the wind picks up, the pilot deftly pulls the Stearman up… and you're airborne.

When it comes to aerobatics on the wing, you couldn't be in better hands. All these advanced wing walks are taken with highly-experienced display pilots at the helm and the aeroplane is cleared for lots of different aerial manoeuvres (as is your pilot!).

So, get ready to experience some classic aerobatic moves from the unique perspective of the wing on these thrilling advanced wings walks!

And, if you can, look at the ground to see your friends and family in the dedicated spectator zone cheering you on. All the moves are done directly over the aerodrome, so they'll see everything from your take off and your aerial display, to your landing.

You've done a wingwalk before and it was awesome. These utterly brilliant experiences certainly take walking on the wing to new heights. Book your aerobatic wing walking flight now and all that remains to be seen is if you're ready for some aerial stunts!
