:shocked: This give a whole new meaning to, "Hey; hold my beer, and watch this :cus:!"

:clap: :bowdown:

I see it was a staged act. The handlers on the ground did not seem to excited. The "thief" went from drunk to running pretty good. That many close calls and I would have thought crash city.

I had that pegged as a stunt from the start. Darn good at making it look like he was actually drunk.

this guy performs at air shows across the united states. I saw "farmer" at the Sussex air show about ten years ago. i'm surprised he's still alive!:roflblack:

Hi Patti,

Re: Drunk pilot at an airshow

Having been to more airshows than I can count; it is one of the oldest skits there are.

Just something to get the crowd excited,

I read somewhere the guy is actually a Delta Airlines pilot and does the shows as a side job.

That's Kyle Franklin and his slightly modified Super Cub. I don't think he is a Delta pilot as is reported. He's chief pilot for FFC, Franklin Flying Circus. Forgot to add, Charlie Kulp was the original Drunkin Farmer. Charlie did a few airshows here at Seymour Johnson AFB. I think he retired, He is somewhere around 85 years old.
