    Had more guts, brains, courage, determination and patriotism than all of the millennial generation combined. He was the last of his breed. The greatest generation is almost gone. Speak with them and thank them whenever you see them. Young Americans do not know the price of true sacrifice because of this generation. RIP R.A. Bob Hoover at that great aircraft hanger in the sky. He now has angels wings, blueskies, and a brisk tailwind.

    Such a great interview, Bob spent as much time praising other people as he did telling his own stories. He's clearly not only a top notch aviator but also a great human being.

    Jesus! Bob Hoover! This man is a god! I'm a trained pilot and survivor! I met this man in 1993... Reno air races..kids. before you scream fake. Think of your father and grandfather for a second. In 1993 he promised an old man a ride in his airplane. If that man reached 95+ years of age.. that man returned. And got his flight!

    "....the best pilot, I never thought I was" You know you are listening to one of the best when they say they don't consider themselves to be the best.

      unapro3 exactly, a very humble guy and the greatest stick and rudder man ever!

      He should have been in the record book for breaking the sound barrier, but Chucky selfishly risked the mission to grab the glory himself. Bob was the backup pilot, Chucky had broken ribs from a horse riding accident and was not fit to fly, but he kept it to himself because he knew he would be grounded.

    Unfortunately the best pilot to have ever lived. Could have been a comedian without a doubt. LoL

    The video quality is awful but the audio is worth listening to anyway.
