Emma's Wing Walk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I have always wanted to fly on the wing of a plane, ever since I first saw 'wing walking' displaying at air shows years ago. As soon as I watched in awe-it was on my 'bucket list of things to do before I die'.
I even applied to the Utterly Butterly team about 7 years ago now (previously the Crunchie team and which later became the Guinot team and is currently the Breitling team) for a chance to be a part of their display team. Alas it was not to be.
I did find out that they now offer 'regular' people the chance to have a go now, but they are based over in Gloucester which is quite a trek for me.
When I did arranged my Sky Dive (see my other videos) at Headcorn Aerodrome (near Maidstone). I learned about 'Skymax Aviation' who also own the same type of classic bi-plane (a Boeing Stearman) and offer the same opportunity to the general public at both Damyns Hall Aerodrome near Dartford.
I had an absolutely amazing time. I felt no fear at all, just pure exhilaration! I thoroughly recommend the experience to any of you adrenaline junkies out there!
I hope you enjoy watching!

Why do Biplanes look so beautiful and sound so good 😊
You legend for having the (metaphorical) balls to do this!! It's mad!
love Love LOVE this video! Adding it to my bucket list RIGHT NOW!!!! It gave me chills watching you do this! 2 Words: You Rock!!!
Hahaaa. Hoe geweldig is dat! How amazing is that😝
I now have this on my bucket list
Amazing, now on my bucket list. Done a few tandems and static line jumps. This seems more fun... thanks for the video
Ahhh....I'm am jealous - also, you augment that beautiful Stearman PERFECTLY!
Ahh thank you! :)
Oh, so exciting! I would love to do this. I've not the window of years to do it that you have though Emma. I'm thinking about it though!
You can definitely do this! If you're in the UK, contact me, and I'll hook you up with Skymax Aviation!!

Anne Marie Stevenson. A 91 year old lady called Norma did this last year at AeroSuperBatics near Cirencester UK.
Respect from Romania!
I do too!! Number one on my bucket list!!
I did a 10,000ft tandem skydive last month and did a wing-walk yesterday! My arms are still aching from waving for the entire 10 minutes!
I've done skydive month ago. Now thinking about this. How scary is it ?
It can be scary but it depends on your attitude. I was scared before getting on top of the plane but when I was stood on top waiting to taxi to the runway I took a couple of deep breaths and I chose to relax and let go. I'm glad i did that because I've since seen an interview with one of the Breitling Wing Walkers and she said "If you hold on then you are a wuss! Myself and the pilot of course will be watching you to see if you are a wuss or not!" The company that I flew with are called AeroSuperBatics (formerly the Breitling Wing Walkers) based at Rendcomb in Gloucestershire and they do not do any upside-down manoeuvres for first time flyers (unless your name is Richard Hammond!) Also all of their manoeuvres are performed within the confines of the airfield and if you wish to land at anytime during the flight all you have to do is stretch your arms out and put your thumbs down. The pilot told me that he spends most of his time looking at the wing walker and that the wing walker is in control of the flight. From 'thumbs down' to landing takes about 15-20 seconds. The pilot sees 'thumbs down' as an order unlike some tandem skydivers who will chuck you out anyway despite your protests! Between this and skydiving? I love both but I'd probably put this on top. There's just nothing like getting on top of an old bi-plane! £399 well spent! Video was only £25. My skydive was £249 plus £119 for the video! If I had done the 15,000ft skydive (£318) plus video it would have worked out more expensive!
@@sintijarevina It really isn't!! It's exhilarating
This looks soooo scary i would never, well done for having the courage to do this 😄
fab ..am scared of heights in general ...but this looks so tempting ..something I have thought of doing since I saw it being done in old time movies many years ago
It's exhilarating! No time to be scared, and they are some of the most skilled pilots you could hope to meet, with very impressive 'pilots CVs'
hi Emma, im here because of Jerome Polin vlog, and your so cool!!!
great video
Hey there, sorry I only just saw your comments. I have heard of a woman in her 80s doing this-and whilst this is exceptional, I think it does go some way to demonstrating that this is not impossible. You will have no difficulty breathing, and you don't need to learn any special breathing techniques. If you want to read about the experience-please take a look at my blog about it :)
Well done
thanks for replying :) i'll definitely take note of what you said.
This looks insanely fun! I did a 13,500 tandem skydive last year for my birthday and will be doing more this year, but this actually looks more fun and more intense, would you say? I don't think I could find a place in my area here in the US that does wing-walking, but I'm going to look now!
AmyPalooza yes, I much preferred this to Sky Diving! If you ever come to the UK you should try Skymax Wingwalking
Imagine this but on a su 57
I don't understand why people can leave vile comments like
the ones I've read here...There are some seriously disturbed
people in this world...🤔
Yep and none of them will ever have the guts to do this. I've done this twice now as can be seen on my RUclips channel.
Nature Girl totally agree. Thank you 💕
@@emmaloubie Your welcome! 😊.. And VERY brave!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Phillip :-)
Are there any videos of beautiful lady pilots making their guys wing walk as they fly?
Wow
I guess you know how many stearmans have ended up inverted when landing.
That's because those Stearman's had brakes which were mistakenly applied before the tail-wheel was down on the ground. The Stearman that I wing walked on had the brake mechanism and front seat flying controls removed. Still no guarantee that it won't flip over but much less chance of it doing so. The company that I use, AeroSuperBatics (until recently known as the Breitling Wing Walk Team), have had over 30 years experience and a 100% safety record.
@philbluntuk thanks! I wrote about it on my blog: emmasbucketlist[dot]com Check out my other videos too-I've been sky-diving, aerobatic (stunt) flying, Zorbing, zip-lining from the top of red mountain, bungee jumping, catapult bungee-ing, and all kinds of other wacky stuff! Glad you enjoyed watching :-),
Yes, I can't remember offhand-but if you follow my blog link which is in the information under the video there is a company who left a comment on there who do wing walking in the States :)
this looks absolutely incredible.
today is my 19th birthday and as a present to myself i'm thinking of booking wing-walking flight.
the only thing that's stopping me from doing it is the breathing difficulties.
i mean...i get panicky blowing the hair dryer directly in my face, speeding through the air at up to 150mph seems rather daunting to me. haha
how was it for you? i heard they teach you breathing techniques.
If you haven't done this since your comment I can suggest breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. That's what my tandem skydive instructor told me to do. I have done a Wing Walk like this and had no problem breathing but I do know that passengers before me said that they could not breathe but that may have been due in part to the very cold and windy weather on that day.
Sky-diving had less impact on my body. I did ache for days after this
The drag forces at 70+ mph are quite pronounced. Great video though.
@@fulcrumpete I was flying at close to 130mph in this 🤩
and one more thing ...
i actually suffer from a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, which literally means brittle bones. it's the genetic disorder version of osteoporosis and i sadly suffer from quite a few problems.
i'm wanting to pack in as much as possible whilst i'm still young and agile just in case a few years down the line i suffer from an injury that kills my dreams! two of them being sky-diving and wind walking. just wondering which had less impact on your body/seemed safer?
brilliant!! absolutely must do!! ,, i have M/S & be for things ,,bla bla,,, i'm 20 yrs in so, time to do things!!! who do i call?? were do can i go to speak to somebody about this?? speak soon, Julien,,,
thank you, so very much!! my booking list is filling up nicely!!!
Julien Cartwright. Have you done a wing-walk yet? I did one yesterday at Rendcomb in Gloucestershire with members of the world famous Breitling team and I highly recommend it! When I was there a young lady arrived all the way from Barcelona on her own just to do the wing-walk and then fly back to Spain!

Thank you, Big time! I've only js seen this, so when this covid bug's blows over & it will! I'm Dartford bound!! Thank you! xx
no worries... Let me know how you get along!
Nice, wing sitting
Please do get up there and show us all what a proper wing walk looks like!
I have been wanting to go wing walking for quite some time now. It looks absolutely amazing! Do you know of any places in the states where they do this?
If you haven't done one already then there's Mason Wing Walking Academy in Sequim, Washington State. You will get to do PROPER Wing Walking!

You ROCK, Emma! I'm doing a story on Aerobatic Tactics here in Australia, and would like permission to use some clips of your video (rather than the stereotypical male wing walker footage) and your commentary above.
They're called Skymax Aviation now.
What a charming 'gentleman' you aren't Ahmad. Thanks so much for your very mean comment. I will take your desperate trolling venom as a back-handed complement, safe in the knowledge that your real intention is to gain traffic for your crappy music because you know the only way you'll get people to listen is to make attention grabbing comments on the pages of people more popular and productive than yourself. MUST SUCK TO BE YOU!
Oh and I lived by the way-in case you were too stupid to guess :)
Sit on a supersonic plane girl and good luck…
Did you ever produce this? I'm not sure id you saw my reply below or not?
Halo emma cantik
absolutely! How exciting! Please post a link here or send it to my email at emmasbucketlist@gmail.com... I also wrote a full blog post on this experience
