Amanda Franklin and Kyle Franklin need YOUR help!!!

IMG_3051

One of the most awesome things about the aviation community is the way we come together. Well, unless it’s to agree on the best way to lean an engine, or make a radio call, or when you take an airplane off autopilot, or…Well never mind. The point is when another aviation nut needs help we’re there for ‘em.

Internationally known wing walker and husband an wife team Amanda Franklin and pilot Kyle Franklin are currently being treated for burns in San Antonio. They were injured in a crash at the Air Fiesta 2011 air show in Brownsville, Texas, on March 12.

Now they need your help…..you can help in two ways! Donations are being accepted at two funds, The Moonlight Fund and through the International Council of Airshows Foundation (ICAS).  You can check out the Franklin Airshows webpage  (http://www.franklinairshow.com/What’s%20New.htm) for the latest details on how to donate. PLEASE donate today!!!

Bill Gordon & Billy Segalla of Iron Eagle Aerobatics have been doing airshows for a LONG time. In fact, how’s 20 years for a long time.  That’s a long time to be doing anything especially when pulling G’s and wowing the spectators are in your job description.

They fly two Super Christen Eagle I Aircraft. And to say fly is an understatement.  They FLY these things and they FLY the hell out of them! Click the more button to get the full story behind how I took this picture…
