THE world’s only formation wingwalking team, Team Guinot, is searching Wrexham to find the ultimate high-flying recruit to join the team and spend the summer strapped to the wings of the biplanes.
The team, which is currently looking for a new sponsor, is searching for a new wingwalker to join the team.
“Wingwalking is the most exhilarating job in the world,” says wingwalker Danielle Hughes, 20.
“Standing on the wings of a biplane you literally feel as free as a bird, the experience of looping through the skies at 160mph is incredible!
“We perform in Wales each year so the lucky candidate will hopefully display in front of a home crowd which is amazing.”
The successful applicant will be trained to climb around the beautiful 1940s biplanes, performing a sequence of handstands and acrobatic manoeuvres in the wingwalking rig while the aircraft loops through the skies.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for a high flyer,” said team leader Vic Norman.
“Our wingwalking team is in demand all over the world and the successful applicant will be displaying in front of millions of spectators every year.
“Wingwalkers need to be fit and agile in order to complete the graceful routines while standing on the wing against immense wind pressure.”
In 2009 four Boeing Stearman biplanes and their wingwalkers will display across the UK and Europe throughout the week and during weekends.
Whoever lands this job can be sure of an action packed summer!
