I had the pleasure of drinking with him and tex hill one night in Scottsdale Arizona 20 plus years ago needless to say it was a long night and a lot of fun rest in peace Bob
Drinking with Hoover.. lol. The first time I had the pleasure was at the Acey Duecy bar in Oshkosh WI during the fly in. I was a young LT and had brought an F4 to be a static display. Went to the bar in the evening figuring I would be the coolest hot shot pilot in a flight suit there. But there was Bob, holding court from a bar stool. I was in awe of the great man. I ran into him again just this last August at Oshkosh. A life well lived!
