"Big John" wrote in message ... I saw Bob perform many many times doing the impossible in heavy iron and GA. I finallly quit watching him do those impossible things as I didn't want to see such a nice guy buy it. Big John His airshow routine was a piece of cake compare to some of the things he went through during WWII and as a test pilot. |

His airshow routine was a piece of cake compare to some of the things he
went through during WWII and as a test pilot. I read an article on his career, and he actually performed the Shrike engine out routine back in North Africa during the war in a P-38. He did it to demonstrate that the P-38 could be handled adequately both single engine and dead-stick. Dean |

I ran into Bob standing in fornt of me in the checkout line at Ralph's
supermarket in Palos Verdes, CA near where he lives. He was very sociable and easy to talk to. gatt wrote: "Maule Driver" wrote in message m... 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. 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. -c |

nk.net... Hum... it seems to be a Macromedia Flash Player file which complicates things a little. Yep... I refuse to load yet another security hole onto my machines... Hell, it's bad enough just with the ones that MS delivers... When I was on a recent DoD (Navy) contract, they wouldn't even allow it on any of the machines on the NMCI network... |
