How long did he do the Shrike routine? I swear I saw it in the late 70s
- 82 at the latest. Deadstick down in the valley at Reading, out of
sight. Damn!

I was a novice glider guy then but could still appreciate why twin
pilots *needed* to cry when they saw that.

Great stuff. Hoover gives me chills. Seeing that routine live is one of
my most memorable flying experiences - and I was standing on the ground.


Yeah, I recommend sitting down or having something soft under you.

You can always tell who in the stands are pilots because they get all
emotional.
