Leave a lasting legacy through living with great character. Lessons learned from the one of the great aviators, Bob Hoover.
Makes enduring memories this Christmas, but always take the time to remember those who have scarified for the greater good and are no longer with us, or away from home. In honor of Maj. George Preddy, killed in action on Christmas day, 1944.

There are some that fly an airplane, and there are those who become one with the air and machine. Sad news today. Bob Hoover passed away at the age of 94. A stick and rudder pilot for the ages. I met and got an autograph back in the late 1990s. A class act all the way. Mr. Hoover brought flying to an artistic level. RIP Mr. Hoover, you took to the skies, dazzling and inspiring so many. We mourn his loss, and celebrate a life.
