A wingwalk flight is defined as a flight where the wingwalker has transited about the  aircraft from one point to another and not stayed in one place while the plane was flying.  The actual wingwalks are noted in the log but they are not totaled.  Only the flights were counted,  so each flight equals one wingwalk flight.
For clarification a wing-rider stays in the same location on the plane for the duration of the flight.
