Drunk man takes plane for joyride

That's Kyle Franklin, son of the late, great Jimmy Franklin. In that video, the guy he steals the airplane from is Matt Younkin... and you should see him fly too. And it's funny that Jimmy is married to Matt's sister,... and she is the gal that does Kyle's wingwalking now.
And she's probably the prettiest gal you'll ever see at an airshow.
Pretty neat group of folks.

Sooo, if she was married to Jimmy, then she'd be now a widow???

At any rate, introducing Amanda....who I think is actually married to Kyle and is daughter of Bobby Youkin, another legendary airshow pilot who got her introduced to flying at an early age.

Looks like my wife.
 
You're right,... I meant Kyle.
Amanda married to Kyle
Amanda and Matt are siblings.
Jimmy and Bobby were best friends.
Clear as mud??

...and that picture does not do her justice.
 
Yes indeed. Amanda's quite attractive. This particular photo is a little better. (If you click on the small photo it will enlarge slightly in a different window.)

Jimmy was the guy in the J-85 Jet-Powered Waco. If you saw it, you'd never forget it. And Kyle was the teenage kid back in the 90's that was his wingwalker.

I got to meet him years ago when I was a volunteer for the Sussex Airshow (KFWN), really nice guy, and I got a front row seat for the Jet Powered Waco...all I can say is WOW, that was really something!...They had an attractive lady wing walker back then I wonder if its the same lady?, I'll to dig out my old photos and programs
