LOL! A pilot friend of mine sent me that just last week. Awesome.


I think that is the son of a guy who used to do that show in air shows
around the country. Had a bright yellow J3 Cub - same show too.

Great flying although those STOL aircraft practically fly themselves.


Yup, his Dad was Jimmy Franklin. You're right in that he flew a super cub as
well in his shows, as well as the Waco for which he was the most famous. He
died in a collision with another performer at an airshow 4-5 years ago as I
recall.
