At the rear of the aircraft is marked 'In loving memory of Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin'. The wife of the pilot flying this aircraft, Amanda Franklin who was a wing-walker also lost her life on the 27th May, 2011 following another airshow accident. Display flying in America can be a dangerous business.
