NS13Jarhead Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 No way would I do that, even with track spikes on my shoes! Of course that wouldn't be very good for the wings. Quote

Lewie Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) The Jenny was popular with wing walkers in particular because of the relatively slow cruising speed and the generous aileron surfaces, which could compensate for the weight transfer of the wingwalker from one aircraft's wing to another. Watch the amount of aileron deflection being used as Gladys climbs to the right kingpost of the first Jenny and then her shift off the wing, onto the other plane's wing.
