Franklin Airshow Crash

dennismullen · Mar 13, 2011

I was sorry to hear that Kyle and Amanda Franklin suffered severe burns following the crash of their plane during their show. I took this picture at the Oshkosh WI EAA this summer. I was astonished by the show they put on.

Here is the story...

Thanks for the information, it is always a sad note when someone from our flying community has problems.

I've seen a photo of them before and was amazed at what they were able to do. I hope they'll make a good recovery.

Kyle Franklin announced that Amanda Franklin, after a strong fight, was ultimately overcome with infection while trying to recover from severe burns and passed away on Friday, May 27th, 2011.

Kyle Franklin posted almost daily to his Facebook page letting everyone know what was going on. It is a heart wrenching read and a sad story for both. I wish the best for his physical and emotional recovery.

The Franklins were my favorite act at Oshkosh every year. Last year I spoke to them for a few minutes during an autograph session and they were very nice. I, too, followed Kyle's daily blog on FB and it was heartbreaking. May God bless their families and help ease their pain and sadness. Amanda is flying in heaven now.
