Their display options currently consist of either a solo aircraft, or a two-ship formation pair, or a three-ship display, and previously included a four-ship formation, and during the 2008 display season, a five-ship formation. They are the world's only formation wingwalking team.

==History and operation== The AeroSuperBatics display team (as it was later to be known by) was founded in , by veteran aerobatics pilot and now honorary air commodore of 614 Squadron RAuxAF RAF Reserve Vic Norman, initially operating a sole Zlin Z-50 in a traditional display role. During the mid 1980s, Vic and his wife attended an airshow at Salinas in the USA; it was there that he first witnessed wing walking with a Boeing Stearman, and this was the seed that sparked Vic's idea of bringing wing walking to the United Kingdom, which was only happening in the UK on top of a Tiger Moth. Upon his return to the UK, Vic managed to get a flight in a Boeing Stearman newly owned by Ray Hanna; Vic subsequently purchased the Stearman from Hanna. A wing walking rig for the Stearman had been created and certified in the USA by Art Scholl, though Scholl was reluctant to allow others to use his rig, due to fears of getting hurt whilst using it. After Scholl was killed in 1985 during filming backdrop scenes for the film Top Gun, his widow gave the wing walking rig plans to Norman, thus allowing Norman to replicate a wing walking rig on his own recently acquired Stearman. As Norman was still displaying his Zlin, Norman persuaded Bob Thomson to fly his Stearman, with Lesley Gail becoming their first wing walker.
