The wing-walker starts off strapped to the vertical bar with the orange harness . Then they release themselves and do free standing stunts like this. Wheeeeee !
Go on, you know you wanna do it!!
The Boeing-Stearman Model 75 is a biplane used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Wikipedia
I like the Yin Yang symbol on the front wheels. Wonderful balance.

***This scene just reminds me of Snoopy and the Red Baron (book), a best-selling cartoon book written in 1966 by Charles M. Schulz (however has no connection with this featured biplane) The Snoopy plane was a Sopwith Camel.
Another Stearman (aka Kaydet). Though the registration is not in the image, I'm pretty confident that this is N67344, s/n 75-6958.
This airplane carries the blue livery of an USAAF PT-17 trainer, but it was built in 1943 as an N2S-3 for the US Navy. The main difference between all the Stearmans/Kaydets (Army PT-13, PT-17, PT-18 and Navy N2S-x) is the installed engine.

The lady on top of No.3 plane must have chatted to the pilot of No.2 plane :o)
After performing in the previous 5+ minutes the air was filled with light fog effecting quality of image.
The team pilots fly the aircraft through a well rehearsed energetic routine of dazzling aerobatics and close formation flypasts as the wingwalkers wave at the crowd. These manoeuvres include, loops, rolls, stall turns and even inverted flight! During all of this, the wingwalkers experience speeds of up to 150 mph and 'G' forces of up to 4G!
Best seen large.

A beautiful Stearman biplane landing in glorious light onto the grass strip at Soest. 1/40th of a second panning shot to get a full propeller disk. Especially done for my followers, who appear to share my taste of prop disks and blur :)
Special thanks to George Cordos for making it possible for me to attend this airshow.

The Boeing Stearman is sort of "the" classic airplane. Designed by Lloyd Stearman of Stearman Aircraft Corporation before Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing. It was the primary trainer of both the USAAF and the USN during WWII.
This specimen is in the "Yellow Peril" livery of a US Navy trainer, it is an N2S-5 equipped with a nine-cylinder, 220hp, R-680-17 Lycoming radial engine. The Navy's N2S-5 is the same model as the Army PT-13D.
At the time the shot was taken it carried the registration D-EKAX, later it became N60MV (older registrations were: Bu.43266 and N65951).
Taken with my Nikon F3HP with an AF ED Nikkor 180/2.8 attached (that lens is great for manual focussing, I always had the 400 on the F4 and the 180 on the F3 when I went to the airport). Ektachrome Elite 100, digitized from a print.
Finally, for those interested, some data of the N2S-5 (USAAF designation: PT-13D):
