AeroSuperBatics Ltd is a British aerobatics and wingwalking team. As of 2011, they perform as the Breitling Wingwalkers following a sponsorship agreement with the Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling. They previously performed as Team Guinot, the Utterly Butterly Wing-walking Display Team and the Crunchie Wing-walking Display Team according to their sponsors at the time. AeroSuperBatics was founded in 1989 by Vic Norman, a veteran aerobatics pilot. It operates four Boeing-Stearman Model 75 biplanes and employs five pilots. The team's shows consist of two or four planes performing aerobatic manoeuvres while female athletes, attached to a post above the wings, engage in acrobatics. On the wings are Stella Guilding (top) and Danielle Hughes (lower). Stella had always wanted to wingwalk and in 2009 was delighted to see the team were searching for a new wingwalker. She applied for the position and was thrilled to be offered a place on the team. Stella loves flying and high adrenalin activities and is a keen skydiver . She says the feeling she gets flying through the air skydiving, compares only to performing a wingwalking display. Both of these activities cause her to experience speeds of up to 150mph, positive and negative G-forces and she loves it! Danielle had dreamt of becoming a wingwalker since the age of 6 after her parents took her to a her first local airshow. It was there she experienced the spectacle of the glamorous wingwalkers in action on top of their colourful vintage biplanes. This really inspired her and started an ambition to wingwalk that she was determined to achieve. Danielle has always been an active person and really enjoys a challenge, especially if there is a competitive element to it. At the age of 14, she became the then national Tae Kwon Do Black Belt Second Dan British Champion. She likes to keep her fitness up in her spare time by jogging and going to the gym.
