Wingwalking dates back to when young flying aces returned from the First World War totally addicted to the thrill of flying. After the war surplus aircraft was cheap to buy, so they were purchased by these pilots who would thrill crowds with their aerial antics and sell joy rides.

To entertain the crowds further and ensure they returned, the pilots began to persuade their girlfriends and engineers to walk out along their biplanes linen wings.

This was the start of wingwalking and flying circus entertainment.

The Breitling Wingwalkers recreate the fearless glamour of those pioneering years - utilising the latest technology, they bring all the vitality and pizzazz from the 1920’s to today’s airshows.
