OUT STANDING video and great "yanking and banking"!

I have watched Mr. R.A. Bob Hoover fly over the years, first in his yellow P-51 and then in the Commander. He is a pilot's pilot, a true stick and rudder man.

Thankyou Charlie! I wished I had seen his flights in person. Must've been awe inspiring.

Wow that is just amazing

Great tribute. I've been watching Mr. Hoover do his routine since I was a kid, starting at the Edwards Air Force Base Air Show during the late sixties. Even then, he was considered a legend. His Energy Management routine was so impressive that my first pilot's license was in gliders, because I was inspired by Mr. Hoover to learn how to fly a plane without power! Ever since, I've had no fear of losing an engine in flight... Thank you, Mr. Hoover.

"It is my sad duty to tell all of you who read Bob's blog that Bob passed away this past Friday, August 13. How much he will be missed is incalcuable. Thank you all for all the support you have given him. I'm his wife. He was a great man."

I had the pleasure of seeing Bob do his amazing "energy management" demonstration at the Hillsboro airport near Portland, Oregon, many years ago. In this particular routine, he did all those maneuvers with the props feathered, which seemed to go on forever, and you just couldn't believe that plane could stay up that long without power. When he finally re-started the engines for the landing, I heard a lady behind me let out a big gasp of relief, and then say "Thank You ! ".

Very Well done tribute, and the modeling of that plane is flawless!

Here's to Bob Hoover, The oldest and the boldest.

Really great video! I like the combination of the subject "Bob Hoover" and the track you have in the video. Really well done!

Outstanding video! I am fortunate in that I got to see Bob perform in 1972, What he out that aircraft through was unbelievable. Bob Hoover became one with the plane when he got in it.
