Flying the more energetic flight, David my Pilot did a Ver,Very, Very good job, well to start with I have always wanted to fly on a Boeing Stearman biplane so to do so while wing walking was just the icing on the cake so to speak, today was my first time but certainly not my last, I just want anyone who's in to aviation in the slightest especially if it's historic Aviation this is for them and Don't worry you won't be scared well I certainly never got fear, just with the 130mph wind smile with you lips closed is my advice, after a few minutes you'll get used to the wind and cold and above all you'll enjoy it So much, you'll Never Ever Look back and like me you will do it again, unfortunately living in Northern Ireland I can only do it once a year but I will, I can't recommend it enough Flying even in a Tiger Moth doesn't compare to how good this is but in 2020 I did that too and it let's you feel some cold before being totally exposed but that's not a requirement.
The views are stunning, the positive and Negative G is stunningly brilliant, the sound and smell of the radial engine and sound of the propeller tips going supersonic is out of this world, So Brilliant it couldn't be any better and certainly great value for money, I know for a fact anyone who does their first flight even if they say before hand that their not doing the aerobic flight, as soon as they land they'll want to go back up that same day to experience the aerobatic flight but I had my mind set on that when booking at the start, all I can say to Av Geeks like myself is you'll be an even bigger Av Geek before the Sun sets in the evening, you'll well in truly hooked Hook line and sinker as they say from my nick of the Woods, I knew I'd love it but words can't express my joy even now at 23:32, I can't take the big smile of my face, It's the best Flying package involving a Stearman Biplane of all time.

Regards

James William Scott.

Last August, 2019, I visited Aerosuperbatics at their Gloucestershire base for what I thought was my last flight with them. I had booked to fly a loop the loop, and thought can you better that? Then a poster caught my eye "formation aerobatics" I knew I would be back...

Covid-19, pretty much closed everything down earlier this year. it was nice when things started to open up again, and it was amazing when I heard that Aerosuperbatics where once again heading into the skies. July, my birthday month was upon us, and what seems to be my annual treat of wing walking was beckoning me.

I looked at their website for more details. The problem with formation wing walking is that you need somebody to formate with. I didn't know anybody, so I telephoned their office and spoke to a very helpful lady, Lorraine, who told me about a lady who had expressed a wish to fly in formation, and thus needed a partner. We put forward some dates. One suited us both, so we were all set!

July 16th was a beautifully sunny day. This was my third visit to the airfield so I was pretty familiar with the ropes. Aerosuperbatics are 100% professional, accordingly they had embraced the Covid-19 regulations and all was conducted socially distanced and masked where needed.

Things started to get real when the second Boeing Stearman aircraft taxied around from the rear hangar to join the usual workhorse for our dual flight. We were soon strapped into our harnesses on top of the wings, and away we went.

Watching a Boeing Stearman take off is an amazing thing, especially when you are stood on top of one, only a few feet away. Also standing on a wing top waving to your friend stood on a wing top at 1500 feet is slightly odd, but in a great way. Soon we were into a slight dive, then up came the nose and were were into a loop the loop Amazing. Next were several opposition passes, watching these at an airshow is fantastic, but watching it from the top of a wing is so thrilling. It is such a unique experience, but can you better, formation aerobatics?

A truly great day out. Adrenalin by the bucket full. Total professionalism.

Sharing the sky with another aircraft & Wingwalker is such a unique experience, with our Lead Display Pilot & Chief Pilot performing your formation, you experienced a new flight that not many will have had the opportunity to enjoy. We are absolutely delighted that you loved it. So it was such a pleasure to pair you up with Rowena, enabling you to fly in formation. Thank you for your comments on our team's professionalism and safety; we are very grateful for the recognition as these areas are incredibly important to us. I am delighted with your feedback and I know that David, Andy, Kirsten & Gemma will be too, thank you Paul. What's next for you here at AeroSuperBatics? The team will need to have a think! We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to our airfield someday soon.

Everyone at AeroSuperBatics were brilliant and the experience was one I won't forget in a hurry.
I decided to go for the full acrobatic flight after the 1st flight at a good discount which is available on the day of your wing walking experience.
Words can not really describe the feeling of diving from about 3500 feet into a loop the loop, its just one of those things you have to do.
Might have to go back and do it again!

This was my second visit - I could hardly wait to return to loop the loop! To say this was an exhilarating flight is a bit of an understatement, my head is still 'in the clouds'.
Kirsten, Gemma and Dave were so welcoming, friendly, and at all times totally professional, and the procedures put in place during this COVID period were first class.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about it - yes I was nervous, but as soon as we were in the air I left all that behind, such great fun.

Having never flown before this was to be an entirely new experience for me. I'm seventy two years old, so why not stand out on the wing, I thought, rather than inside a plane ..and besides, at my age you are not supposed to be daring, so, there's all the more reason to give it a go! It was a beautiful September afternoon, big blue sky and a few random clouds, Gemma and Gina, professional wing walkers looked after me. I was introduced to David, the pilot, we had a little chat about what to expect, then I climbed up on the top wing and Gemma secured me into the harness. She wished me a good flight, the engine started, and we taxied down to the end of the field, turned around and started the take off run...Seconds later and we were climbing into the sky. It was amazing ,the propeller spinning out front, the wind in your face, the view for miles around, the feel of the aircraft under your feet, banking through the turns, this is Wingwalking!

There are a few things in life that can give you a full adrenaline rush in complete safety with a professional team. Rollercoasters, (tame) high speed track days (not even close) this is for those wanting that thrill and some some.
This is the body and mind experiencing the freedom of flight, wind in the hair and in all axis. Those feelings and the slight positive and negative G tell you why Richard Branson & co want to fly into space however briefly (5mins). This experience is a fraction of that price 3 times the length of time, but will induce a billionaires rush.

The team here at AeroSuperBatics are delighted to hear that you had such a fabulous time flying with us, and absolutely love your comparison to Richard Branson's flight to space. The sense of freedom, flying on the top of the wing is so exhilarating; we're so pleased you loved it and felt safe with our Professional Formation Display Team. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back for a loop-the-loop experience someday, with the full aerobatics... you'll love this too!

Easy to find Sat Nav takes you right there.

Friendly staff who are all quite chatty.
Simple and short safety briefing.

You can buy a video of your experience from 1-3 camera angles I would 100% recommended this.

I had two flights the solo wing-walk and the loop the loop. The first flight involved a series of sharp turns and dives and probably the best bit for me was going across the airfield at 100mph just 30 feet from the ground.

If you like the first flight do the loop the loop experience you will never come so close to feeling like a bird anywhere else. They take you straight up to 4000 feet and then the manoeuvres start I ended up doing 3 loops and 2 half loop twists. Plus a couple of knife turns (0g) the only disappointing thing about this flight was you do have to land.

I highly recommend this experience, the staff were brilliant and wingwalking is second to none! The best part is when you climb high then suddenly nose dive to the ground at over 100 mph. I need to come back to do the loop as you can only do this on the second visit. If you are unsure just go for it you won’t regret it.

First comment- DO IT!
AeroSuperBatics emphasis on safety was evident from the start. So first off you feel at ease immediately. After that there is friendly professionalism and an obvious love for what they do which is so important to further develop your own enthusiasm. The history of AeroSuperBatics is amazing in itself as is the lovely building, but the impressive and understated ability of the pilots and professional Wingwalkers is difficult to describe. It was an experience of a lifetime and worth every penny.
I’m disappointed not to get my own photo with Dave
the pilot. Hopefully I’ll get one somehow.
Thank you AeroSuperBatics for a truly memorable day. Denzil

My husband gave me this experience for my birthday last year and I will definitely be going back to loop the loop. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Emma who made me feel at ease straight away. We had absolutely superb weather, not a cloud in the sky and no wind. I really found that watching everyone go before me gave me a huge wave of confidence. Added to this the saftey briefing was superb, the team so professional and relaxed. Which in turn made me relax. A huge thank you to Dave the Pilot (thank you for showing my friend your controls!!) Emma and Kirsten. You made our day just perfect. My thanks too to the Stag Party who went up before us and were hilarious! Especially the Stag's flight!! For me this experience was just EPIC and I will never forget this first flight. I'll be back with a few more 'takers' next time!!
