[edit] Old comments

It seems to me that the main/default article for "Wing walking" should be the kind with the biplanes, not the relationship pattern. Kufat 08:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I should have put it on wikitionary. A good article on the history and such for the biplane activity would be nice, with the mention of the decision making thing for completeness... but without pictures and that history this shouldn't be here. Jdblick I don't know how to put in a timestamp... yours is off anyways.

this is a good US government site on wing walking - if someone could edit in some facts that'd be nice as editing near bedtime=bad article. - AMP'd 03:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Right. And you can use the pix as they are US gov't. That is where I got that one from. --Justanother 04:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I've improved the article with that link. I'm hoping there is a sauce somewhere that talks about why people don't wing walk anymore, either because of legal and financial restrictions, or because of the fact that modern planes go much faster. Also, [[Image:Ormer Locklear Wing Walking.jpg]] is a good picture that I uploaded; find a good place to put it. I'm going to bed. V-Man737 07:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Another quick google search turns up a lot of places that seem to be offering wing walking for charities. Methinks wing walking is still possible, you just need an old plane. - AMP'd 15:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

There is this modern "wing-walking" practiced as a spiritual improvement activity like swimming with dolphins or fire-walking. I will do something with it later but anyone else is more that welcome to jusp on it sooner it they like. --Justanother 15:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Modern wing walking

We can work on the modern aspects here. Still looking for non-commercial RS but these below give you a good idea of what is out there.

Also, as I mentioned, there is the "self-knowledge" (or thrill-seeking) thing that is done, I think. Here we learn something about legality of such in the UK. --Justanother 22:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
