Subject: Fwd: Friendship is Overflowing for Bob Hoover
Simply the best airman to have ever walk plant earth --- or
flown over it !!
Have had a few times I've got to shake his hand and talk with him, (our Cessna 195 fly-in in Ca. a few yrs ago & at S. Expressway airport about 1979 or so --- a/p is now gone --- when he did the very same show for about 200 folks that he does/did for over 100,000 in OSH only on a runway 75 foot wide & no decent approach at either end) & a few other times been lucky to watch him perform..

Have a very close friend that
flew with him in the Paris airshow in the North American Rockwell Sabreliner as
his co-pilot that tells a great story but will leave that for another time .
This guy is for real and a
national treasure for sure,
Blue skies,
Mike
