P51D, have you seen BH fly his routine in the flesh? The problem for me in the company he was keeping at Oshkosh was that it took him so long to actually do anything. Its much better on edited film. His area of operation for his routine is so big because of the radius of his loops, turns etc that you loose sight of him and could go get a cup of tea before he returns to centre stage.

I did not question his skills - just expressed a disappointment in the impact of his routine, in that company - after 20 yrs of looking forward to seeing it!

Interestingly:

"in your face" displays such as the Gee Bee, BD5, Jimmy Franklin's jet engined Waco, and Oracle
The Gee Bee is retired - smart enough to call it quits before it killed him. Don't know about the BD5. Jimmy Franklin is dead! Oracle is smashed to bits!

Maybe that says something about Bob!
