We lost Bob Hoover today. Lots of stories on Face Book under his name. Met him at an airshow in Atlanta in 1977/ Got his picture holding our 1 yr old daughter. Sad day in aviation. RIP sir. | ||

I saw him I believe at a Ft. Bragg (Fayetteville) air show many years ago in the Shrike Commander. I was amazed at his precise piloting and it inspired me to get my private ticket. | |||

Many of us recall his Commander air show demonstrations. Amazing pilot and showman. Wishing him blue skies forever. Mike | |||

Here is a great post from EAA- http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-...8xa1NTM1pJWEU9In0%3D I just received this from EAA... a sad day for all pilots..... the Greatest Pilot in recent decades/century has joined the Angels...last week!! GREAT tribute to Bob Hoover....pictures, videos, etc..... The personally autographed poster, I received last year, on release of his video "Flying the Feathered Edge" is now an heirloom.....and really a great show!! What a GENTLEMAN...and what a PILOT.... truly an aviation great!! I am honored/humbled to have shaken his hand several times over the years at various air shows....and truly admired his flying MANY, MANY times!!......Mustang, SHRIKE Commander, Sabreliner, F-86.....never saw his F-100 show!!....I guess he burned the asphalt with the afterburner on those demonstrations ....of that Widow Maker!! Cheers, 470EDDY | |||

Saw his Commander routine at the airshows in Medford, OR. A great American and a wonderful pilot. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
