Scott crossfield is truly one of the last living legends of Aviation in the World.

Robert "Bob" A. Hoover (my favorite by a wide margin) and Chuck Yeager are still kicking also.

Bob Hoover was Yeager's Wingman when he broke Mach 1.

I use to see Bob Hoover all the time when I worked at the FBO at Wiley Post Airport in OKC. His routine is the stuff of legends, I will never forget his engines out loop in an aero commander!
