It's sad to think that four of these people are no longer with us, and we very nearly lost the fifth. Aviation on the edge can be an unforgiving business.

A very touching point Neal, who were they doing the fly over for, Bob Love??

What year was the Howard, Love race? Just wondering if I was crewing for Bob then.

1984...

That was the time Bob felt that Howard was crowding him, so Bob did a barrel roll over Howard on the course to get to Howard's outside!! :shock:

A couple years later, Howard did run over a Yak-11 on the course with his Sea Fury.
:roll:

He had a dog names Captain, but I don't know if this is it.

Captain was a English Bull Terrier like the in the Blacksheep squadron tv series.

Zelda was the oldest and then they got Zoey. They liked Jack Russel rescues.
