I'm sure that whole thing was staged (too meny camera angles not to be) but still, that takes alot of guts to be climbilng around on a fabric wing with all the cable braces, no parachute, and climbing from one plane to the other!! Getting from the lower wing to the top one would take a monkey and then to stand up with out a brace is just crazy!!!  :o
 There was at the very least alot of trust in both pilots and herself to even think about doing something like that.
You will note that you would NEVER see me doing anything close to that.  ;D
