Hi Gang
I just received my April, Ultralight Flying magazine, and I noticed that at Sun 'N Fun this year at the Friday Night airshow, on April 7th, they are featuring a father/daughter Ultralight Wing Walking show. It is the team of Bob Essell and his daughter Jennie Forsythe; this is first time I have ever heard of an Ultralight Wing Walking act.

entangled on Marabile...sorry.

I know about Bob Essell's wing walking act on an ultralight PUSHER.....PROP
SPINNING RIGHT BEHIND THE WALKER (a small fella from Sharpsville Pa, in those
days), because, I hired him for $2k to perform the act at my cousin's
Bavarian Funfest at Yankee Lake in Aug of 1996. No one, I mean no one was doing
such an act. I ended up being the announcer as I owned the microphone. Not a
very good announcer, but what an act!!! They flew around the fairgrounds for a
good 10 minutes scaring the h--- out of everyone walkin around with beer or
ice cream cones. Everyone else was scared too.
Bob always impressed me as a nice guy but if he has his daughter doing the
act now, he may be proving to be a relative of Michael Jackson. Bob is a risk
taker but he always makes it look easy, and he always seems to come out on
top......er....flyin the plane.

Hi everyone!
I noticed your posts about dad and me and just wanted to take a moment to clarify a few things and give you a better introduction to our team...
There's no Michael Jackson funny business going on here - when I first told dad that I wanted to be the next wingwalker (after hearing Jon was retiring), dad's first reaction was "NO WAY". It took me 6 weeks to convince him to let me give it a try. And it's not like I was 13 years old - I was 33!
Also, dad's been doing the UL wingwalking thing since the early 1990s, this is nothing new to him. We come from a family tradition rich in aviation and showmanship - this stuff is just in the genes... Dad's also a flight instructor (see www.libertyairsports.com for that side of the business) and I'm also a wingwalker on a 450 Stearman with Walt Pierce (www.americanbarnstormer.com).
Quite simply, we love what we do!

Here's a little preview of what we'll be performing at Sun 'n Fun:
