Air show performer Kyle Franklin is an extraordinary aviator in his own right, but his flying roots span three generations.
As Franklin's Family Circus neared its 50th anniversary Flying magazine featured Kyle, who continues the legacy of his father, Jimmy, and grandfather Zip.
Kyle learned to fly at 8 years old and went on to become the youngest professional wing walker at the age of 17, when he first climbed atop the family's Waco UPF-7, Mystery Ship. Today he performs in airshows with his highly customized biplane, Dracula.
