This is your chance to become a wing walker for the day! Treat the adventurer in your life to an intensive training session in preparation to then walk the wing on a thrilling flight out of Chiltern Park Aerodrome situated between Oxford & Reading. This wing walk display really is one of those 'once in a lifetime' experiences that is guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing as you climb up onto the wing of the biplane for this unique aerial ride. Why walk on land when you can walk on the wing? The ultimate aim of this day is to turn you from budding top-wing riders into proficient wing walkers capable of taking part in a 10-minute aerial display. We're guessing this is the first time you'll have attempted a wing walk so the experience starts with a full safety briefing on the ground. You might not be expecting this but as well as the usual safety procedures it will include things like breathing techniques & hand signals all very much specific to the art of being a wing walker. The wing walking team at Chiltern Park has had the special wing rig manufactured 'made to measure' for the Boeing Stearman plane you'll be flying on. Once you the budding wing walk star has climbed up onto the top wing which is about 10ft off the ground you'll be strapped in with a super-secure five point harness. When comfortable & after one last run through of what you need to do you'll be taxiing off ready for the personal wing walk air display of your life. / As you feel the wind in your face you'll be flying at speeds of up to 135mph & it's at this point that you can officially declare yourself as a wing walker. Most wing walkers are so exhilarated in flight that they can't help grinning madly & waving at friends & family below. Keep your wits about you as you zoom in for a fly past at just 500ft off the ground & pull up for a sharp climb before heading into the finale
- a classic manoeuvre the 'run & break'. One thing's for sure you're not going to forget the day you became a fully-fledged wing walker!
