Cousins complete history-making wing walk

Flame Brewer, Rose Powell, and Jasmine Norman completed a triple wing walk with their grandfather piloting one of the aircraft
- Published
Three cousins have "made aviation history" by performing a daring triple formation wing walk, believed to be a world first.
Flame Brewer, 21, Rose Powell, 20, and Jasmine Norman, 20, flew metres apart on the wings of three vintage bi-planes on Saturday over Rendcomb Airfield in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
The trio are granddaughters of Vic Norman, 78, founder of AeroSuperBatics, the world's only formation wing walking team.
He said: "I can absolutely tell you that there won't be three granddaughters who have ever flown on the wing of an aeroplane in formation, at the same time. It'll be the first time it's ever happened in the world."

The three cousins described the wing walk on the bi-planes as "powerful"
About 85 friends and family members gathered to watch the feat. They described the six-minute flight, which travelled at speeds of up to 120mph (193kmph), as "insane, powerful and thrilling".
Jasmine, who is training to become a professional wing walker, said: "It felt very powerful, having Rose and Flame next to me and all flying up at the same time.
"We've all done solo flights before, but doing the formation together felt very full circle."
Mr Norman, who piloted one of the aircraft, has been flying since the age of 17 and founded AeroSuperBatics nearly 40 years ago.
He has flown in more than 1,500 displays and taken celebrities – including Elon Musk – on flights.

The cousins grew up watching family members wing-walk.
Flame and Rose also hold the record as the youngest formation wing-walkers, aged nine.
They completed coordinated moves while battling 100mph (160kmph) winds in 2013.
Mr Norman said: "It's like a circus in the sky. And to fly with my granddaughters like this — it's a dream come true."
