R.A. "Bob" Hoover, a true gentleman in & out of the cockpit. “Blue Skies and Fair winds”
Not sure how many of us are aware that we lost Bob Hoover in October 2016.
Such an amazing pilot and someone who inspired my interest in aviation from childhood up until the present.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Hoover, what an Icon! I got to see him, too. From early on I was a sponge for anything aviation, and Bob was everything aviation. I loved his aero commander routine, his dead stick acrobatics were incredible.
I have seen a lot of pilots who are damned good, but Hoover was a cut above!
Anyone who could touch P-51 wingtips to the ground and live has my undying respect.
