What’s involved in a wing walk?
Participants will be securely strapped to the top wing of a classic biplane before taking off for a high-speed flight, reaching speeds of up to 130 mph. You'll feel the wind rush by as the plane soars, twists, and turns through the sky, offering an unforgettable perspective. Professional pilots and safety experts will guide you through every step of the journey, ensuring an exciting yet safe experience.
Weight and age restrictions apply:
- Participants must be aged between 18-80
- There is an upper weight limit of 85kg (13 stone 3 lbs)
- If you are over 65 years of age, your GP will need to pre-sign your medical declaration form before arrival
