2023 Leesburg Airshow - The Flying Circus' Wingwalking Display

The Flying Circus, based in near Bealeton, Virginia, take the stage for their signature wingwalking display. Piloting the Stearman is Joe Bender, who himself is also a wingwalker, and walking the wings is veteran wingwalker Jana Leigh Sheaffer.
The 2023 edition of the Leesburg Airshow took place at the Leesburg Executive Airport in Leesburg, Virginia on Saturday September 30, 2023.
All airshow video shot by ZINGER AVIATION MEDIA during the 2023 airshow season and especially at locations during the 2023 airshow season which would have featured airshow announcer Howdy McCann at the microphone are dedicated to his memory. Howdy passed away suddenly on March 9, 2023, and his voice and contributions to the airshow industry should never be forgotten.
Please note that any music in the video was played through a public address system and ZINGER AVIATION MEDIA does not have any control over what music is being played during an air show. The music industry has increased its concern to ensure they are paid when copyrighted music is played. Therefore, the USAF requires any U.S. air show, civilian or military, hosting an Air Force aircraft performance which includes music secure the necessary music licenses for broadcast of pre-recorded copyrighted music over public address systems. For the 2023 airshow season, the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) has negotiated a deal that will allow issuance of music licenses for ICAS member air shows for all three US music licensing organizations: ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. Each ICAS member air show is eligible for a single package of the three music licenses for one air show at the cost of $875. The rate applies only to music broadcast over the public address system during the air show portion of the program and does not provide the show with the right to use prerecorded music at concerts or other non-air show special events held in conjunction with the air show.

What happened to all the wing walking acts man I miss those they use to have so much

[@airshowfansh]

There are so few wingwalkers in the airshow industry today. One moved on to flying corporate jets, one (two) is/are still active, you've got The Flying Circus, and others have gotten up there in age and have retired from airshows. Tragically, several have lost their lives in the past 13 years...
