Hell, unless I'm mistaken, even Bob Hoover had to fly with another
pilot on board, at one time, to act as PIC.


And I'd dare ANYONE to question his flying ability.

Didn't some FAA drone do exactly that? (yanked his medical because his
performance wasn't up to snuff)

No, it had nothing to do with his performance. It had EVERYTHING to do
with the arrogance and stupidity of one FAA individual exercising power
he never should have had.
Like all government stupidity, this incident, once put in the pipeline by
this incredibly incompetent individual , had to work itself out through
the agonizing process Bob and the entire aviation community on several
continents had to go through to reverse it.

Wasn;t the original reason (excuse) given that his performance was
sub-par?

I'm not saying it was, I'm just saying that someone claimed it was.

I understand. The "official reason" was close to what you have described.
There wasn't a word of truth to it as far as I and many in the aviation
community are concerned. Most of the people involved in it are now out of
the FAA. A few remain.
