SPECIAL:
BREITLING WINGWALKERS !I!
|
|
| A
serie of pictures - Oostwold Airshow 2015 - Meet the team ! |
|
| These
are the present six young girls that 'Walk the Wings' |
 |
| Oostwold
Airshow: Participating Emily Guilding and Frea Paterson on the wings |
|
 |
|
| One
can't do it without the other: These are the six present pilots of
the Wingwalkers Breitling Boeing Stearmans. |
|
 |
|
| Oostwold
Airshow: Participating David Barrell and Martyn Carrington |
|
 |
| Frea
and Emily prepare... and off they go ! |
 |
| So
many pictures you'll think in a minute ? Yes, indeed ! Sometimes 2
seconds between them. But it shows... it shows... !! |
 |
| There
they go, two mostly simultanious flying Stearmans ! |
 |
|
 |
| Breathtaking... |
 |
|
 |
| Both
pilots Martyn Carrington and David Barrell have to be 120%
concentrated... |
 |
|
 |
| Martin
usually flies as 'Wingman' because he likes to follow the leader as
close and accurate as he can. |
 |
| Flying
close formation is what he likes most. |
 |
| David
Barrell grew up near Duxford UK, so... what is there more to tell
;-)) |
 |
| After
he once flew in the back of a Harvard, he knew that he wanted to be
a pilot himself. |
 |
| David
and Martyn worked a long time together, Martyn was David's Chief
Instructor. |
 |
| Hard
to believe thar Freya studied 'Arts' at first, but she outpaced a
100 candidates and got the Breitling job ! |
 |
| Freya
saw almost every European country, as well as China, Middle-East,
Australia..... |
 |
| She
was used to perform, that is..... if you can call playing Disney
Characters in a suit in Disneyland Paris performing.... |
 |
| What
Freya likes most is the 'loop' which generates a windforce of 220
km/hour ! |
 |
| Emily
got enthousiastic through her sister Stella, who already flew in the
team since 2009. |
 |
| Emily
also loves more outdoor extremes like horseriding, skiing, mountain
biking and now Wingwalking is added to her list. |
 |
| Emily's
common daily life: A job as a graduate geographer at a
consultancy firm..... |
 |
| When
Emily was tightening a member of the press for a wing walk.... |
 |
| ....
it so much pleased her to see how agony of emotion transforms into
elation after completion of the flight and the landing! |
 |
| Wow
! |
 |
| Wow
2 ! |
 |
| The
Boeing Stearman got his reputation since 1933 |
 |
| Worldwar
II initialised the building of some 10.000 examples of the machine |
 |
| The
Stearman was intensively used 15 years after Worldwar 1 ended |
 |
| The
fuselage is built mostly out of steel, the wings out of wood. |
 |
| Two
wings are used to enlarge the 'lift' |
 |
| It
was and is a perfect plane to teach pilots, and fly this machine
'stupid-proof' ;-) |
 |
| Ok,
end of the Oostwold performance. |
 |
| Perfect
landings... when the Wingwalker climbs into the frontseat of the
cockpit... |
 |
| ....
and climbs back on the wing once more to enjoy the public. |
 |
| Let's
see them pass once more... |
 |
|
 |
| Waving
to the people behind the fences... |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| Thank
you so much girls for this perfect demonstration on this perfect
sunny day ! |
 |
| This
goes for youtoo guys, since you have the responsability to fly
perfect and get men, women and planes safe back on the ground. |
| THANK
