00:00Al Ain Air Champion Show is here and teams are going to be competing for the title Grand
00:12Champion and we've been given exclusive access to go on one of these planes.
00:16I've just been told my seat is up there on top of the plane and I wasn't told that when
00:21I agreed to do this.
00:23So wish me luck and I'll see you on the other side.
00:26The Breitling Wingwalkers team strapped me in very securely, put the earplugs in and
00:30took me up in the air to experience the feeling of what wingwalking is all about.
00:35Well, kind of.
00:45Everything feels a lot slower up in the sky strapped to the top of a Boeing Stearman biplane.
00:51The wind creates such an overwhelming force against your entire body, making movement
00:56incredibly difficult.
00:58Even moving your head or arms is hard work.
01:00The wind dries out just about every uncovered part of your body.
01:04The view is breathtaking and being turned upside down while the plane is doing hoops
01:09cannot be compared to any other experience.
01:21I can't imagine how the Breitling Wingwalker girls are able to make this look so effortless
01:26as they perform amazing stunts with smiles on their faces while their planes are twisting
01:31and turning in sync.
01:33They said they train daily to make sure they have the right body strength to do their thrilling
01:38moves.
01:39They are the world's only wingwalking aerobatic formation wingwalking team, consisting of
01:44two planes, two pilots and two very fit wingwalking girls.
01:48And they are all set to thrill the crowds this weekend at the L.A. Air Championship.
01:53Well, that was amazing.
01:55That's an experience I can't even begin to explain.
01:59It's all happening this weekend in L.A., so there's nowhere else to be.
02:03You've got to come here and see how these guys perform.
