Astronaut Hoot Gibson 4of5 Mir space station

When it comes to ultimate challenges in flight, Robert Hoot Gibson has gone where few have, commanding and piloting the space shuttle five times. This member of the Astronaut Hall of Fame is also an AMA member, flying model planes at an early age. Gibson is especially interested in the youngest generation, and after showing slides of connecting the shuttle with the Russian space station Mir, he spent time with the youngsters in the Education area of the Expo, helping them build balsa models to test fly.
