Kyle and Amanda Franklin at Oshkosh 2010
You may already know that Kyle and Amanda Franklin sustained substantial injuries yesterday (Saturday March 12, 2011) in a forced landing due to engine failure during their season opening airshow in Brownsville, Texas. I hope you'll join me in praying for a healthy recovery as they face many challenges in the coming weeks and months.
For an update on the their condition and what happened, please check out this Facebook update from Amanda's brother Matt Younkin from earlier today (full text also in this post after the jump).
I've had the opportunity to spend some time with Kyle and Amanda and I can easily say they're two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. The airshow community is very fortunate to have them as part of the family.
Here are some links to posts I've put up in the last year that will help show some of the amazing airshow work that Kyle and Amanda have brought to the world of aviation.
