Sad day. I saw him perform at an air show in San Diego in about 1986.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him fly a number of times. The things he does defy physics. Rest easy Mr. Hoover.

Awful news. He lived a long and adventurous life, though. The man was a legend. May he rest in peace.

RIP. Somehow I missed this news until now. I only saw him in videos, but his skills were incredible. None better. Thanks for posting—
