@42percent NO SHIT, sherlock. That would be why it's called an airshow!! God damn, your comment was one of the fucking most stupid things I've ever seen.
In Akron, Colorado, Sept. 2008 Kyle Franklin put on a fine performance with the original black and silver WACO that Jimmy flew for so many years before the jet WACO. Many maneuvers were exactly the same; the 4 point roll with reversing aileron to crispen the points and the flat inverted spin. Kyle added some new maneuvers but many of his father's touches were there too. It was great to see the Franklin Mystery WACO in action again. Talent just runs in the family!
I Caught Franklin and his son at an air show in Saskatoon a year before he died, thankfully I missed his crash in Moose Jaw. But his bit was the best of any airshow I've been to.
jimmy franklin was the best and a personal favorite. he lived for a show ~ the tail-slide king! i found out just a couple weeks ago about his crash at moose jaw, and for me the pain is fresh; i miss him sorely. *thanks jimmy* ~

Jimmy was so amazing! His show began on the take off roll and ended when he shut it down.
