1940s Boeing Stearman biplanes


1940s Boeing Stearman biplanes powered with 450hp Pratt & Witney radial engines. AeroSuperBatics Ltd's Breitling Wingwalkers are the world's only formation Wing-walking Team using up to five Boeing Stearman aircraft, and are based at Rendcomb in Gloucestershire. Previously known as Team Guinot and the Utterly Butterly Wing-walking Display Team and before that as the Crunchie Wing-walking Display Team they now have a new sponsor for 2010 with Breitling. The aircraft remain the same but are now painted in the Breitling sponsored colours. The aircraft display a breathtaking sequence of loops, rolls and turns while wingwalkers wave and perform handstands against 150mph wind pressure. The wingwalkers also get back into the cockpit after their display while the aircraft is still in flight.
