Barnstormer Express - Summer Highlights

 

The Barnstormer Express July 30, 2009     Bringing you the Best of Barnstorming!  In our pursuit to continue bringing you the best of barnstorming, we worked in collaboration with some photographers & videographers this year to give you a real upclose and personal look at our very unique team.  The summer version of our new promo video will show you just what sets our wing walking team apart from the others.   View our new promo video here: .WMV website version (may take a moment to load) YouTube version         Noteworthy...   Jenny's Journal in AirshowStuff Magazine Jenny was invited to contribute to the new online publication, AirshowStuff Magazine.  She has been contributing regularly, in the form of Jenny's Journal, since the spring. Ryan Sundheimer, founder of AirshowStuff.com, is the one who allowed us the use of his lipstick video camera at the Wings & Wheels show in St. Thomas, Ontario.  He contributed much of the ground-based video you see in our new promo, as well.     American Barnstormer on the cover of the ICAS Industry Guide American Barnstormer's wing-cam shots from the Florida International Air Show this spring caught the eye of our industry's leaders - our Going Up! photo was chosen to grace the cover of the new ICAS Industry Guide.    About the photo series... Tyson Rininger called on a friend, David Carlson, who has plenty of experience with rigging cameras on moving platforms to help us capture our team behind the scenes... in the air.  With all the right equipment from David (who works with Canon), we were able to capture our entire routine with photos taken every 4 seconds.         Not your typical wing walking acts...   The AMAZING solo wing walk--     This is the most complete solo wing walk routine available!    No other team's wing walker hits 4 distinct places on the plane, performs aerobatics standing at the wingtip, and hangs upside-down from the javelin by her knees!       The SPECTACULAR Double Trouble wing walk-- This is the ONLY North American team offering a performance with two daredevils moving about the wings of a Stearman in flight and riding through aerobatics to boot!      This wing walking act mixes acrobatics with grace, precision, and the 'Double Dare' javelin hang for a show you just can't miss!
