I like to take this time to inform everyone that on July 10, 2005 there was a plane crash in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. They were stunt pilots who flew in a show called 'The Masters of Disaster' which is a group of three biplanes. Two people died in this crash as they collided into each other. The third plane is fine. In this act three plane pilots do stunts in the air while Shockwave a Jet Truck races down the runway. The act is so much fun to watch and I will miss watching it along with Bobby's acts in the Beech 18, Decatholon, and Lear Jet.
The reason I am telling you this is that I know Bobby and still know his father. He was a great guy and will be missed.
RIP
Jim Franklin - Jet Powered Waco
Bobby Younkin - Samson Biplane

We saw that on the news here in Florida along with another crash in Delaware. Sorry to hear that and our prayers are with their family.

No I'm not from Arkansas. Born and raised in Annapolis, MD.
Thanks a lot. The crash in Delaware was a practice and if I heard right that was a three plane crash.

Jim and his son Kyle did a show earlier that day (Kyle is a Wing Walker) and Kyle was in the "judges booth" were he tells the crowd what they are going to do and he saw his father die. They both died instantly. Thanks again.
