It was Jimmy Franklin that did the Kitfox routine at OSH. I watched him practice it at the kitfox factory and I thought it was one of the best airshows I had ever seen. Mostly because in a Kitfox he was never more than a 1/4 mile away from me as opposed the just going by. Brian C. I was at the performer party immediately afterwards. Jimmy cracked the windshield durring that performance. I bet he sold a lot of airplanes that day. |

How did he crack the windshield? Jimmy came to our Aviation Explorer's base camp, and gave a presentation / question-answer session. Everyone really enjoyed him. But as someone said, he really liked to live life on the edge. I saw the first season of the jet powered biplane. All I could do (while watching his show) was stand there with a big stupid grin on my face. It was just so funny, strange, weird, and just not right, but I loved it! Both will be missed. -- Jim in NC |

I don't really know. They brought the plane back after that late
routine, and the windshield was split . Could have been stress, overspeed, combination of the two or a freak occurance. Either way, they were drilling holes in the windshield and were tying it back together with something like a lace.
