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.

You Tube is a helluva site too.

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure I saw him do the Shrike 2-engines-out routine in the
mid '90s just before the FAA revoked his medical.

He did at least most of it in Hillsboro in around 2002. The old Evergreen
Shrike isn't used now. He had a different sponsor and paint scheme.

Am I just goofy, or is there no way to save a copy of this video from
the "You Tube" website?
