    I have been honored by a visit from the legend at my offices in orange county, I am proud to have had an autographed copy of a book he gracefuly gave me. I was humbled by his presence, his quiet unassuming demeanor that makes us aviators appreciate him as a hero and a special breed! long live Bob Hoover.

    Bob Hoover was one of those prototypes that was discontinued right after he was out of the factory.
    Only a few Aviators like him were ever made and could no longer be replicated!

    Great pilot Bob. Ewerything he did, as test pilot is great. But why to turn off engines. Thats prowoqes incident. Thanks god he surwive. Is this something to teach future generation, on regular flight, not on testing. I ADMIRE Bob Hoover, But no reason to do that.

      Bob did that as a demonstration in energy management and it was an incredible thing to see. He obviously knew what he was doing.

    I first met Bob Hoover, in Santa Barbara, Ca. in the late ’60’s.
    Great guy. Always wish I knew him better.
