The weather was hot and sunny with clear blue skies and the beaches and town centre shops were packed with tourists - obviously its school holidays here still so lots of families taking advantage of the sunshine
The wingwalkers performed their magic for around 25 minutes until we were barely able to see the planes because of the smoke/vapour? trails they left which caused a fog-like atmosphere where we could scarcely see a few feet in front of us :-)
The 'wing walkers' seem to be enjoying themselves immensely - and they are all very glamourous ladies as you'll see from their website WINGWALKERS
So for a mere £399 anybody can 'have a go' it seems .... probably not for the faint-hearted or the over 55s methinks!
No particular order - just a few of the many photos I took - just look at that clear bright blue sky (not something we've seen much of this Summer)!!
As well as the Breitling Wingwalkers, we were treated to a display of spectacular flying by the RedBull Matadors - "2 pilots flying Sukhoi 26 unlimited aerobatic aeroplanes in close formation as well as some wacky synchronised and not so synchronised manoeuvres" is the way their performance is described on their website
o.0 that is insane. even with the safety equipment, that is insane :p
ReplyDeleteI know ...... so do you fancy trying it Jennifer????
ReplyDeletei don't know. part off me wants to but then the smart part kicks in and says no :p
ReplyDeleteWell I figure I'm too old now but you're not ...
ReplyDeleteso you could ask for donations for birthdays etc towards the cost .... it would be an amazing experience ??
you are never too old!
ReplyDeleteit would def. be an amazing experience, always want to go skydiving, would be close to it
Don't think I would try that whatever age I was. Fascinating to watch though, I bet. Not cheap to have a go though is it?
ReplyDeleteLovely skies, sure you were still in Kent?
Commented once but not sure it was accepted so I'll just say
ReplyDeleteNO WAY would I want to do this!
Thanks for the great pics, Sue!
Yep, definitely Kent sky Jo - although from Sunday onwards it got much cloudier here. Still warm though.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan
I couldn't do some of those moves even standing on Terra Firma and especially not hanging upside down!!
Funny way to earn a living isn't it :-)
