Had the honour of meeting a true giant of aviation tonight, Mr Bob Hoover at the screening of a film on his life story. Its well worth a watch, best aviation related docu/film bio I've seen.

a true giant of aviation tonight

He is quite tall isn't he!

One of the highlights of over 40 odd years of attending air displays was Bob in the Shrike at Reno - he must have been approaching 80 at the time.

"Forever Flying", his biography, is a great read.

Is he still flying ? Last I heard, the FAA had 'pulled' his medical - but, then it was restored.
