!! KYLE FRANKLIN AND AMANDA YOUNKIN ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT !!
It's finally official! On August 1, 2005, Kyle Franklin asked Amanda
Younkin for her hand in marriage.
With Amanda still asleep in her bed, Kyle flew his Cub to the Younkin's
Fayetteville house, landed on the airstrip then proceeded to call her
on the telephone.
While she was still on the phone, her mom, Jeanie, hurriedly called
Amanda downstairs to "see something happening outside."
She stumbled down the stairs and goes outside to find Kyle, dressed
in his Sunday best holding a beautiful bouquet of roses.
As he dropped to his knee and proposed, Amanda quietly said "yes"
and cried.
Witnessing this beautiful moment was mom, Jeanie, brother and sister-in-law,
Matt and Michelle, and Catana Wilson, very close family friend.
The wedding will take place in Ruidoso, NM on October 18, 2005.
Once things settle down this year, Kyle plans to continue in the airshow
business in 2006 by flying the original Waco Mysteryship, his Comedy
Act, and motorcycle-to-airplane transfer.
No plans of Amanda wingwalking for Kyle, yet.
