Next to my Dad, he was my foremost hero. What a life he had.

So odd, as I finally read his autobiography for the first time recently.

NooĆ²ooooooooo! I'm saddened to hear this. I'm disappointed I never met him. I never heard a bad word about him. All I ever heard was what a gentleman and fantastic aviator he was. I consider myself fortunate to have watched him put on a fantastic aerial display with both the P-51 and the Shrike. How fitting that one of his airplanes will forever be on display in the Smithsonian.

Spoke to him on the phone a number of times but sadly never met him: his loss will be keenly felt.

A truly legendary aviator.

As was once said "life should be measured in achievements whatever they might be and not years!".....

Bob did both!

Proud to have had him as a friend...

RIP and tailwinds forever sir...
