Wing Walker - USA

July 2001
Tim Lester visits a spectacular air show on the border with Mexico, featuring an Aussie aviation broadcaster, Gordon Bowman-Jones.

He tells Tim: "It's an excellent lurk. Don't let on. They pay me." Air shows are a full time industry in the US, with only baseball attracting more fans. Tim meets a bi-plane pilot and his air ballerina, who specialises in mid-air wing walking and watches the Blue Angels, an airforce flying team, go through their paces.
