Funny story.   Franklin was hanging out in front of the Langley Air Force Base runway on Armistead Ave.  The cops came by and told him and a few others they had to leave.  There were about 20 NASA Langley workers watching the C-5 take off.  Everyman managed to slip off the road in front of the main gate and take a couple of pics.  Great job Everyman.
