From 2013 (YouTube Edition): Dracula Lives On Through Kyle Franklin… and We’re NOT Scared! ANN CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Jim Campbell, speaks with Aerobatic and airshow master, Kyle Franklin, at EAA AirVenture 2013. Kyle puts on a show that is fun to watch, exciting, and most important, it’s entertaining. Every airshow pilot has a carefully crafted flight routine, but Kyle is also known for being a showman. He works the crowd, will talk to anyone, and plays to the kids. He is also “hep” to modern trends. His custom-built biplane, named Dracula, took Kyle 9 years to build. It’s a one-of-a-kind plane designed to give the thrill of the old barnstorming days yet provide the wild capabilities of a modern acro airplane.
