It's So Old!
But it still smells fresh.

With all this old stuff sticking around, you have to wonder how we keep it
smelling so fresh. Ha! I've got quite the secret up my sleeve.
You see, my wonderful wife makes candles. Not just any candles, but
soy candles. Highly scented, and at a price anybody can afford.
Even me.
So, cruise on over to Skyline Candle
Company, and pick yourself up a candle or twelve. I recommend the
Waterfall Mist. Smells so good. Way better than all these moldy
old headlines.

This video has gone viral in aviation circles. For those who
don't know, this is Kyle Franklin flying his "Wing-tip Draggin' Comedy
Act". I have been fighting the urge to add it here just because
it is so popular, but what the hell, it's fun to watch!
AvWeb recently did an
interview with Kyle where he discusses the act, and gives away all his
secrets.
The airplane is a Piper Super Cub, completely stock except for an increase in horsepower to the O-320.
If you haven't seen the video or performance yet, you'll love all the
wing-tip dragging and low-level foolishness. Just be sure to watch
it to the end. The dismount is the best part! For more
information about Kyle Franklin and the "Franklin Flying Circus and
Airshow" visit their
website.
