I've seen Jimmy Franklin...and Kyle perform in Calif., numerous times since the 1980s? Never saw Amanda, but heard about her story on 20/20 broadcast airing 07/22/11. She makes it look like so much fun....I ALMOST want to give it a shot.  So SORRY to hear about her passing,,,as well as the loss of both Kyle's Dad, Jimmy.... & her own Father , Bobby Younkin...back in 2006? I've been checking out some of the graceful footage & wonderful music in these tribute videos.

Godspeed Amanda

[nerblebun]

How on earth did this brave and beautiful lady crawl back inside the cockpit and buckle her seatbelt while crashing? Obviously Black Beards ghost must have been watching over them both. Most of the world is praying for you so we can once again watch your awesome airshow.

Kyle and Amanda you are being prayed for. May the Lord do a mighty work in your lives!
