Is BOB HOOVER still alive????
....and if so,, what is he doing these days to keep busy.
hi all, I just tuned in the History Channel and there he was, for brief moment. Amazing, that in the 30 years I've followed his stunt flying with Rockwell, he hasn't aged one bit--he looked 80ish in the 1970's and he still looks just as old! Thanks for any replies |

Bob was an honored guest at the flight of the Rutan rocket.
He quit flying the 51 not because he wanted to but because his knees could no longer stand the stress. Neal |
