About the experience
Those looking out for a flying experience that's not for the faint of heart will love this Wing Walking Experience. Hosted at Old Warden Aerodrome, near Biggleswade on a 60-acre site that includes a museum, ornate gardens and play areas in the heart of the Bedfordshire countryside, this flying package promises to be 10 minutes of your life that you won't ever forget in a hurry! All of your preparation and safety talks will take place on the day prior to your flight with the technicians, who will be helping you get up 10 ft onto the top wing of a vintage Boeing Stearman aeroplane. And that's where the excitement starts to build, as you're safely and securely strapped into your harness, the plane starts up, and you head up the grass runway and into the skyline, with your skilled pilot at the controls of the biplane doing low-level fly pasts and turns! And given the venue, you can bring along friends and family to see you take on the flying experience of a lifetime!
- Invite friends and family to watch you in your own 10 minute wing walking display
- Before the flight you will receive a wing walker training session which includes safety awareness and instruction on the use of the rig and seatbelts
- Stand on the wing of an authentic Boeing Stearman Biplane travelling at speeds of up to 135 mph
- Your experience will last approximately 10 minutes from when you start to climb up onto the plane
