Wing Walk Challenge

Wing Walk Challenge


We’re looking for the bravest and brightest to take part in the new SHA Wing Walk Challenge. Travel down to Yorkshire to take on the wing walk challenge.


Stand on the wing of a 1940’s Boeing Stearman Biplane flown by a highly qualified pilot. Complete a variety of flypasts and manoeuvres with the highlight being a dive from 500ft and a zoom climb with a final “Run and Break” before landing.

 

We asked last years participant Anne Kelly for a quote and she said, “Absolutely…Amazingly…AWESOME!!!” Need we say more? 

This is definitely a challenge for the bravest of fundraisers! If this sounds like you get in touch with gemma.powell@hdscotland.org or fill in the form at the bottom of this page!
