Meet Kirsten...

Now into her 7th season with the team, Kirsten generally flies in the lead position during formation displays. Wingwalking is her one true love in life; nothing can beat zooming across the globe performing handstands and climbing around flying aircraft with your best friends! A background in trapeze and aerial circus led to Kirsten's involvement on the team, with skills in strength and flexibility working to her advantage on the wing. When not climbing around her beloved biplanes, you can find Kirsten teaching aerial circus, cooking, riding motorbikes, practicing yoga, and focusing on her artwork. She is an adrenaline junkie and loves doing aerobatics standing on top of the aircraft, much preferring being on the wing as opposed to sitting in the cockpit! Kirsten's favourite part of the routine is when the wingwalkers climb around the aircraft; she loves the exhilaration and freedom of the arabesque! Kirsten feels privileged to have had so many wonderful adventures with the team, and considers herself a 'collector' of unique views; her most memorable being Loop-the-Loops over the Gobi Desert at sunset! The romantic feeling of soaring through the skies is unbeatable, especially when the air is warm and you can wear a T-shirt! Kirsten can't wait to see even more of the world upside down in such an exhilarating manner.
