Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin Midair

During a couple of airshows Jimmy Franklin kept his WACO in our hangar. What a nice and personable individual and one of the most layed back people I've ever met. I would swear that his blood pressure and heart rate actually lowered during his show.

The airshow world lost two of it's greats.

Does anybody have any video clips of them in their act? I don't want the crash video, just the good stuff. RIP, I'm saddened to hear of our loss.

Gonna really miss these guys at OSH this year. After hoisting a few in their honor this eveing we realized a significant portion of the worthwile entertainment on the air show circit had just passed away. Gonna miss the lear and Twin Beech act. That act would bring a tear to any airnet lear jock.
