Just came across this vid, and while I'm sure it's an old air show standby, I've personally never seen it, so I figured I'd share. I imagine some of you know of this gentleman, and I'm curious to know if the aircraft's been modified with reinforced wingtips -- any idea?

With all the bellyaching on this forum about pilots not knowing how to fly airplanes, the video seemed like a fitting contribution.

Re: Drunk Pilot Routine
Kyle Franklin is an incredible pilot, and a heluva lot of fun. He
learned to fly at a very early age:
I might mention that his wife, Amanda Younkin, died last year
as a result of injuries sustained at an airshow. Both of their
fathers (Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin) died in a head-on
collision at an airshow at Moose Jaw, a few years back.
Here's his brother-in-law Matt Younkin, a 3rd generation pilot:

Re: Drunk Pilot Routine
I think of myself as a good pilot.
Then I see stuff like in the videos and realize how limited my skills are.
Watching stuff like in the videos makes me feel as my skills are beginner.
And I have almost 2600 hours.
It must take alot to put your life on the line like that every day.
Incredible people. God Be With You., you brave souls.
