Bob Hoover is considered one of the founding fathers of modern
aerobatics, he was described by Jimmy Doolittle as, "...the greatest
stick-and-rudder man who ever lived." In the Centennial of flight
edition of the Air & Space Smithsonian, he was named the third greatest
aviator in history.


and the airplane is also at the Smithsonian now. It's at the one out by
Dulles, not the one downtown.
