8/2/2003: Jet-powered biplane



What could be crazier than putting a couple of jet engines on an authentic 1937 Waco biplane?



Having a wingwalker climb up on top of it while you're flying it.

The pilot here is Jimmy Franklin, and I had to look for images of him after hearing that this plane had been sighted by excited aviation folks at Oshkosh this year. There are a lot of shots of this guy and his wingwalkers because apparently they do their thing at air shows and get a lot of excitement.

Remember, you don't get a Darwin award if you live.
