The Breitling Wingwalkers are the latest iteration of Aerosuperbatics' wingwalking display team. Aerosuperbatics was founded by Vic Norman in 1989 as the world's only formation wingwalking team in an attempt to return barnstorming to the British airshow scene. Before coming under the sponsorship of Breitling in 2011, the team flew under the guise of the Crunchies, the Utterly Butterlies and Team Guinot. The team usually perform solo or two-ship displays in Western Europe, allowing them to split into smaller groups and perform at multiple events on the same day. They have also performed further afield, including at Airshow China 2012, the Australian International Airshow 2013 and AeroIndia 2015. They frequently appear in the United Arab Emirates, including at the Dubai Airshow and Al Ain Aerobatics Show. For large UK shows such as the Farnborough International Airshow, the Breitling Wingwalkers have displayed with three or four aircraft; in 2011 they performed a four-ship routinewith simultanious flypasts by the Breitling Jet Team as the finale to the Royal International Air Tattoo's 40th anniversary airshow.
