Wing Walking Adventure in Kent

Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime with a sensational wing walking experience in Kent! This isn’t just any ordinary outing; it’s a chance to learn the incredible art of wing walking at Headcorn Aerodrome, one of the South East’s busiest aviation hubs.

Formerly RAF Lashenden, Headcorn is a spectacular setting for this adrenaline-pumping adventure. Picture this: you’re on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman biplane, racing across the sky at speeds of up to 120mph as you take in the breathtaking views of the Kentish countryside.

The adventure begins with a detailed briefing from our friendly ground crew, who will ensure you're well-prepared and know how to safely climb into your harness. It does require some agility to get up onto the wing, but the excitement will make it all worthwhile!

Once you’re up there, you’ll feel an exhilarating mix of excitement and nerves. It's a unique feeling to be standing attached to a biplane, gazing out at the world below. As you gather speed and take off, the thrill hits you – you are officially wing walking!

Don’t forget to wave to your friends and family watching from the ground! They’ll be cheering you on from the viewing area, and you might just find yourself grinning from ear to ear. Sure, moving around up there can be a bit tricky with the wind, but that only adds to the excitement of this awe-inspiring moment.

This is one of those experiences where you’ll challenge yourself to push boundaries, creating memories you'll cherish forever. With the encouraging support of the Headcorn team, you’ll conquer your fears and enjoy every moment of this epic wing walking adventure!
