The airplane of the day is a Stearman biplane. This was used as a WWII intermediate trainer and later were converted to crop dusting duties. Look carefully at the top of the wing and see the pylon sticking up. In flight the wing walker climbs out of the cockpit and uses the pylon to hang on for dear life as the pilot goes through the usual loops and rolls. The pilot even has a back up wing walker in case the first one is ill. The pilots head is visible in the rear cockpit.
The walk this morning was cool and weather was clear.
Women who walk on wings assure me that we're all on this flight together.
