awsome...hoover is a "must see" on my list.........

I think he's still alike and kicking, but the FAA took his ticket away
a few years back (he's in his 80's IIRC0.

His show was an absolute marvel. Saw him at Glenview, Oskosh, and
Corpus Christi.

We had a film and/or tape of him taken from inside the Shrike when I
was in VT-28. He pours a glass of iced tea during the routine.
Watcing the tea pour up while you see the aircraft performs a perfect
barrel roll is quite a sight!!!!!
