Military Aviation Art
CO-SIGNED BY BOB HOOVER! Living aviation legend Bob Hoover
is captured during one of his most crowd-pleasing moments. Bob is taking
his famous Shrike Commander through a hold-your-breath airshow routine.
He’s doing a Cuban-8 with one engine shut down and the prop feathered.
In his typically modest way, Bob said, “The Cuban-8 is no big deal;
it’s easy.” Maybe it’s easy if you’re Bob Hoover, who performed
his first Cuban-8 at the tender age of 18. He waited until he was a
seasoned 20-year-old before shutting off one engine while doing his
routine. |
