RIP Bob Hoover

Wow! Bob Hoover ...
i saw him do his aerobatics show at an air racein 1976, he was no spring chicken then. He did his amazing performance in an Aero Commander Shrike.
Someplace i have a photo of his P51 "Old Yeller" at end of runway maybe as much as fifty feet in the air , landing gear fully extended and upside down in a final approach barrel roll..

An amazing man and a legend. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I went to a couple of air-race events in Homestead, Fl in the 70's while stationed in Key West. I can't remember if he was there doing aerobatics but the 79 Unlimiteds-only racing event was a wonder (The P-38 Lightning could bank like crazy).

Their next air racing foray would take place closer to home that following Spring, during the fantastic, but under-promoted Unlimiteds-only meet staged by Ft. Lauderdale's- Whittington Brothers: the 1979 Miami/Homestead International Air Races held at Florida's Homestead Airport, Feb. 26 - March 4. This time the racers were challenged by having to fly a 7-mile oval course, designed with three pylons at each end with a mile and a half long front and back straight-away, compared to Reno's then- 9.694mi. race course. Though the shorter course promised tighter competition and fewer blown engines, it demanded superior piloting skill and greater conditioning, to endure higher g-forces encountered while flying tighter turns on a smaller course during 10-lap races. The qualifying field allowed for 28 aircraft- divided into four 7-plane race brackets using the 'bump system', with the top five qualifiers locked-in for the Gold final.

I was at the Pylon races at Homestead in i think 1976 (edit : I've forgotten the year, could have been '79 ) when i lived there. Hoover was there, Boyington, Beede's BD5 jets, Confederate Air Force with their B29; it's among the most awesome memories of my life. Sounds like you probably were there too .
Red Baron, a P51 with counter-rotating props won the big trophy. If you ever pass through Alpine Wyoming (Between Idaho Falls and Jackson Hole) that trophy and a lot of memorabilia are on display in the "Red Baron" restaurant. Must see for aviation buffs who remember that day .

I remember those tiny jets buzzing the strip and the Confederate Air Force dropping 'bomb's'. Yes, I was there, as were plenty of guys from the Keys Naval Air Station. Most of us rode motorcycles up U.S. Route 1 for the trip and stayed at the Navy Security Group housing at the nearby AFB (destroyed by Andrew later) for the show. That race/show was over the top awesome!

Nope. He was after Sousa's phone number.
