Overview

Pure exhilaration, maximum levels of adrenaline and an excitement overload – this is the daredevil activity of wing walking!

Be strapped in a standing position to the top of a Boeing Stearman biplane, while it courses through the air at speeds of up to 130mph.

The rush of wing walking puts rollercoasters to shame. The anticipation while waiting to take off, and the completely unique sensation of lifting off the ground while on top of a plane, is a buzz that anyone will get a kick out of! Looking straight out at open air as you fly through the sky, really is something to behold.

An incredible gift for the daredevil in your life, and for those that want to experience everything they can and conquer all of their fears! If you’re going to go walking, why not go wing walking!

Damyns Hall in the London Borough of Havering is London’s most accessible airfield, and is home to the famous Tiger Club, the Skymax Wing Walkers and the London Airsports Centre. Everyone here has a true passion for flying and for sharing their love of being airborne.

Go from novice to expert in the art of wing walking by completing a ground-based training session before take-off. Take the opportunity to prepare yourself for the manoeuvres you’ll be experiencing while navigate the sky. Skilled staff will teach you hand signals along with using the rig and harness setup, ready for your big flight.

Star in your very own dare devil show with an audience of up to 50 family and friends. Along with your loved ones, the staff will be clapping and cheering you every minute of this intense 10-minute flight extravaganza.

Remember to wave to your adoring public as you perform a low-level fly pass from varying angles. Next, brave a daring dive and a zoom-climb manoeuvre whilst being cheered on by your nearest and dearest. If your adrenaline is not pumping enough, then finishing with a run and break finale - reaching speeds of up to 135 mph, is sure you push you over the edge into adrenaline heaven.

To top off your experience, you will be presented with a personalised wing walking certificate as a memento of your big day.
