Wingwalkers
Wingwalker Gladys Ingel on the go—and in those boots.
All things ariel seem to attract my attention these days. But how could you not get excited about wingwalker Gladys Ingle? A friend just sent me this amazing video. Riding on the top wing of a plane, early stunt woman Gladys Ingle nonchalantly changes planes mid-air. She’s very cat-like, in fact.
As the only female member of the 1920s Hollywood stunt troupe the 13 Black Cats (come on!), she performed 300 times without a parachute. She was famous for riding on the wing of one plane while shooting arrows at a target attached to another. She pretended to play tennis while wing-surfing. She makes my heart race!

Some of the other 13 Black Cats, minus Gladys. What about those sweaters?
