Title: Bob Hoover Flies West
Post by: LevelWing on October 26, 2016, 11:53:11 AM

Bob Hoover, one of the best pilots in aviation history, has passed away. What a legend.

Quote from: The New York Times

Bob Hoover, a pilot who escaped Nazi captivity in a stolen plane, tested supersonic jets with his friend Chuck Yeager, barnstormed the world as a breathtaking stunt performer and became, by wide consensus, an American aviation legend, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 94.
