Take your first steps into wing walking and progress all the way to full aerobatics with the Zero to Hero wing walk experience. This incredible package is designed to take you from a standard wing walk to an advanced aerobatic flight, delivering thrills at every stage. You will climb onto the wing of the iconic vintage Boeing Stearman, securely fastened with a CAA-approved five-point harness. As the engine roars and you hear the call of “clear prop,” the excitement builds and you are soon airborne, experiencing the unforgettable rush of wing walking for the first time. Once you have completed your initial flight, it’s time to push things further. Your second flight introduces full aerobatics, with loops, dives and dramatic manoeuvres performed while you stand on the wing — a truly adrenaline-fuelled upgrade. Both flights are led by highly experienced display pilots, with the aircraft fully cleared for a wide range of aerobatic manoeuvres. Friends and family can watch the entire experience from the dedicated spectator area as it unfolds over the aerodrome. If you’re ready to go from first-time wing walker to full aerobatic hero, this Zero to Hero experience delivers an unforgettable journey into the skies.
