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... |
|
|
|
|
|

sunny day ! |
|
