Single Mom Defies The Odds As A Daredevil On The Wing.

Single mother defies all odds and reaches what appeared to be an unsurmountable goal returning to the wings of an antique biplane as a professional wing walker.
 
July 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Virginia Native, Jane Wicker proves that there are no dreams insurmountable and no goal unreachable no matter how low things may appear to be.  As a new single mom years ago, Jane had to put her dreams aside to raise two young children.  Struggling on only a $10/hour temporary Job, she had to give up a life she loved in order to make ends meet.  But she knew that somehow she’d find a way to get there again.  Defying all odds and many obstacles thrown in her path, she has now bought her own antique biplane and has returned to her daredevil roots as a professional wing walker.

Jane is the only female wing walker in North America who not only walks the wings untethered, but also owns and flies the airplane herself.  She also performs a move that is not seen on the air show circuit by any other wing walker, the daring inverted sit.  Hanging from the wing by her ankles, the airplane rolls inverted and she sits on the bottom of the plane as it flies by the crowd.  “Can’t is not in my vocabulary” she explains.  “It might just take a little longer and a bit more creativity to get there, but when you have a dream in your heart there is nothing that can stop you from achieving it.” She and her Stearman “Aurora” will be debuting the new airshow act on July 4, 2010 in New Bern, NC.

“This is only the beginning.  There is much more to come, including some new stunts”, Jane says.  “ I want to show the world that if you dream it, no matter how little or big your dreams are, you can make them happen.  I want to inspire others to follow their dreams and passions in life.”  You can find out more on Jane’s website at www.wingwalk.org.
