It's very cool to see Kyle Franklin continue the tradition of being faithful to the good old WACO while taking it to freakish extremes.  ;D
I'll never forget the first time I saw-and heard- Jimmy flying a UPF-7 with a J-85 strapped between the gear legs. I mean, Dracula is awesome, and I've flown a very stock WACO and enjoyed it immensely without any gimmicks, but that was just a wonderful idea for an airshow act.
