This Alliance is a group of airshow wingwalking teams that work together to promote an interest in aviation, to educate their audience in the history and roots of airshows, and to inspire everyone to let their dreams take flight. The Alliance teams also work together to bring you the most creative and entertaining shows possible.
When you hire an Alliance member, you can be assured you will get not only an incredible wingwalking display at your event, but you will have true ambassadors reaching out to your audience. These are just some of the quality traits you'll find in each team:
- strong family values
- kid-friendly team images
- safety-conscious professionals
Our wingwalking performances are the main focus of our teams, not merely add-ons to another attraction. Our pilots and wingwalkers are absolutely passionate about what they do - their performances come from the heart - and it shows!
