BROWNSVILLE - Husband and wife stunt pilots Kyle and Amanda Franklin spent years doing high flying twists and turns.

But Saturday, witnesses attending the Air Fiesta Airshow in Brownsville watched as things went terribly wrong for the pair. During their wing walking routine, amateur video showed the engine on the couple's plane burst into flames.

25-year-old Amanda Franklin managed to make it inside the plane and fasten her seat belt just seconds before the crash.

  • It always comes back and bites you in the arse. not worth it...

  • Kyle say;s he plans to keep going with the show.

    Who;s next?

  • This story is almost like drowning in the Titanic swimming pool while its sinking.

  • Darwin like airshows too.. And Darwin was following these folks around for quite some time.

  • its easily a curse... jim leroy was part of master of disasters (jimmy franklin, bobby younkin) he died doing the same stunt as them with skip stewart.... now kyle and his wife.....

  • @mnpd007 MAY SHE REST IN PEACE>>>>BLUE SKY FOREVER!!!

  • Aerobatics and Aerostunts seem like such a waste of talent. The risk is so high and entertainment value only negligible. These stunts are for the non flying public, certainly not pilots. Pilots of any experience cringe at such stunts. I think most pilots would prefer to see some good STOL, Cross Wind, and Bush Piloting.

  • so dam sad that these kind of things hapen

  • @mnpd007 You got it wrong, watch this - See the video with the title "Air Fiesta 2011 3/12/11 plane accident." It clearly shows FIRE coming out of the bottom of the plane.
