Wing Walk, Headcorn Aerodrome

Please register your interest and we will be in touch about dates.

You will be learning the art of walking on the wing at Headcorn Aerodrome, one of the busiest general aviation airfields in the south east. You will be standing on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman biplane, whilst flying at speeds of up to 120mph over the Kentish countryside!

Of course, it's not just a case of turn up and go. The ground crew team conducts a thorough briefing, where everything is explained to you and where you'll be shown how to climb into and out of the harness on the plane. You'll need to be fairly agile for this, as it does require you to climb up onto the top wing of the plane.

Once you're up there, it's going to feel pretty exhilarating. It's not every day you find yourself standing attached to a biplane gazing out at the runway and beyond. As anticipation grows, it's time to be brave and get ready for that once in a lifetime moment. Now the Stearman is gathering speed…and suddenly, you're airborne. And that means you are wing walking!

As you swoop over the Kent countryside, don't forget your invited friends and family who are all gathered on the ground at Headcorn's viewing area. Give them a wave and show them that you are having the time of your life up there! In reality, any movement is pretty tricky, due to the wind pressure, but we're sure you'll be giving it a go anyway.

Going wing walking in Kent is a totally epic thing to do and all the team at Headcorn will be encouraging you every step of the way to conquer the wing of the Stearman.

We cover some of the cost of this activity, however you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of £200, and make a commitment to us to fundraise £1,300 for East Kent Hospitals Charity for each individual taking part.
