Default Bob Hoover

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.
