Unfortunately, I did not get any photos of Jimmy Franklin's second act, where his son Kyle went wing-walking on the jet Waco, or of Charlie Kulp in his J-3 Cub.  In both cases I was too busy gawking and forgot that I even had a camera.  If anyone has pictures which they would like me to post, send them in!  Steve
