[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2918949, member: 24583"] Anyone who has had an interest in aviation will understand why I consider Bob Hoover THE pilot. Major military background then became a salesman for AeroCommander executive aircraft doing airshows. He was Mr. Energy Management in an aircraft. Put on an airshow that would make military aircraft green with envy, then cut the twin prop engines, then fly a 2nd impressive airshow with no power, multiple maneuvers in an aircraft that was not designed to fly upside down, multiple touch and goes on one wheel, etc. then land and taxi up to the announcers stage and park after cutting the engines 10 minutes earlier. My favorite you can find on U-Tube, pouring a glass of iced tea from a pitcher while doing it in a roll. He said the hardest part was doing it wrong left handed so he would not block the camera in the back seat. This man is a legend in aviation, and will be an icon and my hero forever. RIP Mr. Energy Management [/QUOTE]
