From 1990-1993 I performed in airshows with the Liberty Parachute Team and the Christian Skydivers Association. Many times Bob Hoover was on the same schedule and I am proud to have met and performed with him. I have his autograph in my log book. God bless you Bob Hoover and I wish you eternal peace with God on your flight West.

Almost everybody who likes flying knows who Bob Hoover is. In WW-II he was shot down on his 59th mission, made 24 escape attempts and finally escaped by stealing a German fighter plane. He was Chuck Yeager's chase pilot when Chuck first broke the sound barrier. Many more years of flying feats.

Bob won't rest in peace: he's teaching angels how to do perfect barrel rolls.
