Video: Female wingwalkers show off their skills The women of the Breitling Wingwalkers team are strapped to the wings of a plane as it flies and loops through the sky. Team members Sarah Tanner, Danielle Hughes and Stella Guilding, perform up to 100 wingwalks a year in countries across the world, including China and Australia. "To be a wingwalker you can't be taller than 5"4 or weigh more than around eight-and-a-half stone and have to have a head for heights," Sarah Tanner said. She added: "The plane travels at around 150mph so you're battling a lot of pressure on the wings and need to build a lot of core strength at the gym. We perform a lot of manoeuvres as the plane loops and rolls in the sky. We climb out of the cockpit and onto the wings where we do handstands, lift our legs, hang upside down, wave at the crowd and basically just dance on the plane's wings.
