jim hardy said:Wow! Bob Hoover ...
i saw him do his aerobatics show at an air racein 1976, he was no spring chicken then. He did his amazing performance in an Aero Commander Shrike.
Someplace i have a photo of his P51 "Old Yeller" at end of runway maybe as much as fifty feet in the air , landing gear fully extended and upside down in a final approach barrel roll..
An amazing man and a legend. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Their next air racing foray would take place closer to home that following Spring, during the fantastic, but under-promoted Unlimiteds-only meet staged by Ft. Lauderdale's- Whittington Brothers: the 1979 Miami/Homestead International Air Races held at Florida's Homestead Airport, Feb. 26 - March 4. This time the racers were challenged by having to fly a 7-mile oval course, designed with three pylons at each end with a mile and a half long front and back straight-away, compared to Reno's then- 9.694mi. race course. Though the shorter course promised tighter competition and fewer blown engines, it demanded superior piloting skill and greater conditioning, to endure higher g-forces encountered while flying tighter turns on a smaller course during 10-lap races. The qualifying field allowed for 28 aircraft- divided into four 7-plane race brackets using the 'bump system', with the top five qualifiers locked-in for the Gold final.

jim hardy said:I was at the Pylon races at Homestead ini think 1976(edit : I've forgotten the year, could have been '79 ) when i lived there. Hoover was there, Boyington, Beede's BD5 jets, Confederate Air Force with their B29; it's among the most awesome memories of my life. Sounds like you probably were there too .
Red Baron, a P51 with counter-rotating props won the big trophy. If you ever pass through Alpine Wyoming (Between Idaho Falls and Jackson Hole) that trophy and a lot of memorabilia are on display in the "Red Baron" restaurant. Must see for aviation buffs who remember that day .
