The Breitling Wingwalkers will take to the skies at Windermere Airshow on 25th July 2010 to perform a breathtaking sequence of formation loops and rolls, while daring wingwalkers perform acrobatics on the wings.
The World’s only formation wingwalking display team, renowned for dazzling spectators at events throughout the UK and Europe is proud to unveil their brand new colours for 2010 – their first season sponsored by the prestigious watch brand Breitling.
Official supplier to the aviation world, Breitling is the leading manufacturer of high quality luxury sports watches. With their strong aviation heritage supplying instruments for professionals, the wingwalking team is honoured to represent the Breitling brand.
Chief Pilot Martyn Carrington : “Precision timing is a crucial aspect of display flying, especially for the crossover passes and formation aerobatics”
Painted in their striking new Breitling livery, the beautiful 1940s Stearman biplanes will roar through the skies at speeds of up to 150mph above Windermere, as the wingwalkers climb around the aircraft and perform handstands against the wind pressure while waving to the crowd below.
For the impressive ‘Windrider’ pass, named after the Breitling watch, the daring wingwalkers leave the safety of their static harness to sit on the leading edge of the top wing directly above the plane’s propeller as they soar above Windermere Airshow at 100 mph!
