Barry's Flying Circus
General information
Barry’s Flying Circus is an annual TONIC fundraiser founded by Tonic Patron and daredevil Barry Ashworth (Dub Pistols). It takes place at ‘AeroSuperBatics’ in Cirencester.
Once lined up the pilot will throttle up the engine, release the brakes and you’re off! The propellor biting into the air, the tips travelling faster than the speed of sound, your friends and family will hear the bark of the propellor as you accelerate across the grass. Your adrenaline levels will go off the scale as the aircraft quickly gathers speed on it’s take off run, just a few seconds later you will feel the wheels leave the ground.
Feel the tremendous sense of freedom as you fly through the air, take in the unbelievably stunning views surrounding the private airfield, whilst waving to friends and family on the ground below.
1.Types of Wingwalking available
-
1.1 Standard ‘First Time’ Wingwalk - First time wingwalkers cannot do aerobatics, but your adrenaline will hit new levels with this incredible flying experience. You will fly on the top wing of one a classic 1940’s Boeing Stearman biplane across the airfield and local area, passing over the wonderful countryside that surrounds the airfield. Then you'll past the viewing enclosure so that your friends and family can watch you, can take photos and video you flying past!
