EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019: Airshows - Kyle Franklin and Dracula

The Aero Experience continues our signature year-round coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019, sponsored by Elite Aviation, with this look at performer Kyle Franklin, a household name in the airshow industry. One of the acts in the Franklin's Flying Circus, Dracula, features the Franklin Demon-1 spinning down inverted and making an ultra-low pass in front of the cheering crowd. This custom design features the old-fashioned Waco-style shape and open cockpit but with a 500hp fuel-injected radial engine and modern control systems to significantly enhance performance. Here we show views from several of Franklin's airshows during the week and an autograph appearance at the Concorde battery exhibit.
