Good god, it’s like sitting around listening to a bunch of pre-solo student pilots critique Bob Hoover’s flying abilities.
Hoover was a noob! Had to pour a glass of tea for the brass while showing the abilities of his passenger twin instead of concentrating on his flying. Flew with so little fuel that he had to shut down his engines during his aerobatic routine and flew a Butcher Bird without permission and before getting a check ride in it. I don't care if Yeager said he was the best stick and rudder pilot he ever met. Oh, and he hasn't crashed as much as Harrison Ford, so there!
