WING WALKING: Ultimate Bucketlist Experience

If you are an adrenaline junkie you have to add wing walking to your bucketlist!

Mason wing walking academy is located in Sequim Washington and is a family run business. They are the only place in the world that TEACHES you to wing walk! There are two options: to just wing walk on top for $850 or walk on top and the side wing for $1250. This is considered your tuition fee and includes training, the ride and GoPro footage/pictures.

✈️You practice the same pattern over and over again on the airplanes on the ground for around 4-5 hours till the whole group feels ready to fly which is usually about 6-8 people.

✈️The kicker is you don’t have to have any experience or special license to do this and is all done in one day.

✈️They will teach you the exact pattern to climb on top of the plane while it’s flying, strap yourself in, unstrap, climb down, climb over to wing, how to get situated on wing and climb back to the cockpit for a safe landing.

✈️Parachutes are not worn for a few reasons; 1 it could open on accident and 2 you can’t be properly strapped in on top with something on your back. There’s a cable attached to the plane and to your harness should anything happen. However they said they have never had anyone fall!

✈️The plane flies up to around 3500 feet and goes about 45 mph while you climb all over it and around 130mph?) to build up speed for the acrobatics. I think i got 2 sets of flips while on top and the same on the wing and was in the air for around 30 minutes!

✈️It’s a family run business that they run from their home and private air strip during the summer months in Washington. I’ve heard they do this in California as well but I don’t know anytning about that.

✈️I will also add walking on the side wing was a bit scarier as you’re fighting the wind from the side as you tippy toe walk, but successfully completing this part felt like such an accomplishment. I felt very secure once i got there and It’s worth the upgrade to me.

✈️The coolest part though… that I was not expecting… was that when you’re upside down in the air you actually experience like this zero gravity moment where you feel weightless. It’s so cool.

✈️Mike was my pilot and (his wife) was my wing walking teacher and I really don’t think this experience can be topped. They book out months in advance so Visit their website masonwingealking.com for any more information and to book with them via phone or email. It’s the ultimate bucket list experience!

Adventure travel can be dangerous so don’t perform such acts without supervision or the proper training*
