American Wingwalking Alliance founding members, Jenny Forsythe and Margaret Stivers, teamed up on August 24, 25, and 26, 2007, to explore the different possibilities with two wingwalkers on one Stearman. There are many references for multiple stunt-people on a plane. One of the goals of the American Wingwalking alliance is pushing the boundaries of their art and sport through creative collaborations. Margaret and Jenny wanted to combine a series of dynamic poses together at various locations on the bi-plane.
United in a team effort with Hartley Folstad (Stearman Pilot,) and Jimmie New (camera plane,) aviation photographic greats Eric Van Gilder and Victor Archer captured Margaret's and Jenny's performances on August 25 and 26, 2007 respectively. Dona New filmed the duo August 24, 2007.

This was a true collaboration. Many many thanks to the gifted photographers Victor Archer and Eric Van Gilder, Dona New and her enthusiastic spirit, the talented pilots Hartley Folstad and Jimmie New, and to Jenny Forsythe with her willingness to explore new territory with me.
Thanks every one,
Margi.
