I have been lucky enough to have seen Bob Hoover fly his routine both in USA (Oshkosh) and in Australia. Bob would have to be arguably the best and most precise airshow pilot there ever was. He is certainly not "a drunk" and never has been, despite being unfairly targeted by an out of control (and probably jealous) rouge FAA inspector. Thank you Bob for your contribution to aviation entertainment and history! John.

Forget all the aces of WWII, stunt pilots, air show pilots, shuttle pilots ... Bob Hoover is THE best pilot. "I don't think I possess any skill that anyone else doesn't have" isn't accurate. His philosophy, "It's not how close you get to the ground, but how precise can you fly the airplane" guided him to develop skills that anyone without that philosophy wouldn't have. The pleasure he takes in precision is everything.

@blastforyou You would want a drunk flying the space shuttle?
i always wished that R.A.(Bob) Hoover would get to pilot a shuttle mission (specifically the non powered reentry) and give one of his famous flying exibitions on the way down including slow rolls and the tea pouring trick.
