Hell, unless I'm mistaken, even Bob Hoover had to fly with another
pilot on board, at one time, to act as PIC.



And I'd dare ANYONE to question his flying ability.


Didn't some FAA drone do exactly that? (yanked his medical because his
performance wasn't up to snuff)


No, it had nothing to do with his performance. It had EVERYTHING to do with
the arrogance and stupidity of one FAA individual exercising power he never
should have had.
Like all government stupidity, this incident, once put in the pipeline by
this incredibly incompetent individual , had to work itself out through the
agonizing process Bob and the entire aviation community on several
continents had to go through to reverse it.
