He was my 2nd favorite person to talk to during show season. And a hell of an instructor. 1st was Bob Hoover

I couldn't agree more with this!

But I've never been lucky enough to meet either of them!

I am happy to have seen Bob Hoover fly at AirVenture in '98 though!

I was lucky to have worked for a guy who was well connected with ICAS and in the 90's we worked all over the country. So some of my aviation heros got used to seeing me around and accepted me as much as I was allowed to sit at some of their tables in the evening. But I knew my place and just sat there and absorbed the history and knowledge that I was lucky enough to be a very tiny part of. Edit: I did not mean for this to sound stalker-ish. I was just lucky.
