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.

Paul E. Garber Facilities?

No, the new Udvar-Hazy center...massive place, right down the road from Dulles
airport. Free admission ($12 parking). More of an "airplane nut"
place...planes basically just parked, no dioramas or superfluous stuff. More
emphasis on lesser-known aircraft.

They've also got some of Patty Wagstaff's stuff....
