What’s the challenge?

When you join the AeroSuperBatics team you’ll have a full day ahead at their home base, RFC Rendcomb Airfield, in the heart of the Cotswolds. With a welcome from the expert team, you will be briefed and prepared for the experience of a lifetime.

When it comes to the big moment, one of the team’s professional wing walkers will take you up onto the top wing of a glorious 1940’s Boeing Stearman biplane, and strap you securely into the harness.

The display pilot will start the engine and before you know it you’ll be in the air waving from the wing during an exhilarating series of flypasts, zoom climbs, dives and banking turns.

If you have wing walked in the last two years, you can choose the ultimate roller-coaster ride with an aerobatics flight, including loops, rolls and stall-turns!

Wing walk your way to sponsorship; we ask participants to raise a minimum fundraising target of £800 + registration fee to support the RAF Association. Every pound you raise will help ensure that members of the RAF community can access the support they need, whenever life’s challenges arise.
