Carly Simon, ‘You’re so vain’?
Flew with Bob in the Shrike at Reno in ’85. Effortless, but took a bit of getting used to seeing those big Hartzells both feathered. Had previously ridden with him during his Commander 114 routine at the Hanover Show in ’78 I think it was. Not such fun because I was in the back (to get a better viewpoint for fisheye lens pictures of him at work) and had only a lapstrap, so the inverted sequences weren’t too comfortable… That night or the next attended a barbeque at a hunting lodge where the cook was Adolf Galland and Hoover was drinking Tanqueray’s gin in straight-up glasses, neat (no, he wasn’t flying next day). Happy days (or daze).
