Lear 23 aerobatic routine

Franklin was awesome. Anyone remember his Aerostar act?

I saw that aerostar act in FL back in the 80's I always wondered what happened to the show. I had no idea that was the guy. that was a cool act the all black aerostar and the black cape and all... pretty cool

Hoover flying the Sabre was great. He was so smooth. I remember seeing JF in the Aerostar way back when. That was a cool routine he had put together in that hotrod.

Sometime in the last 10 years I saw (1 time only at Oshkosh) a guy do a full, Hoover-esque routine in an old 55 Baron. Does anyone remember this? He was doing single engine rolls, etc. I think he may have flown some aerial stuff for tv & movies.

I knew I should have rolled my aerocommander during my night cargo gigs!

anyone have any clips of bobby younkin's Lear routine? I saw it once at sun-in-fun and i was blown away.

I attended ICAS the year Franklin rolled out his jet-powered Waco. What a show he put on with that thing. He was "old school" and a good guy...as most West Texans are. His dad was killed in a plane crash too. Very sad.

I've seen that jet powered Waco routine. The first time I saw it I couldn't stop laughing. It was like watching an airshow in fast forward.

Ive heard rumors that Younkin's kid might be taking over the Lear routine. Anyone else heard this??

That would be awsome! For some reason we had a Lr.24 and a 28 (yea, a 28) come through the airport yesterday and they both sounded so cool.
