Bob Hoover

Bob Hoover;  RIP

We lost an American Hero this morning. Bob Hoover died today, he was 94. He was considered by many to be the best "stick and rudder" pilot ever! Besides my Dad, he was one of my Hero's. I first saw him perform at the Cape May Air Races in 1971, I was 9 years old. Everybody around me watching Bob was amazed, even at a young age, I knew this was something special.
I saw him perform many times, in many different aircraft over the years, all spectacular. The last time I saw him live was at Oshkosh, his last performance there. He was to go last, after quit a line up of acts. When it was Mr Hoover's turn, all the airshow pilots that had performed that day where standing on the ramp watching. They were watching in amazement, as was everybody that day. We knew we were watching the best Pilot ever perform his last Airshow.
He was a Humble Man, and one Hell of a Pilot.

Another great page of the FMS 5000, is progress page 2. Here we can see the wind information, Headwind, crosswind and actual wind direction and velocity. Temp in SAT and ISA Dev. Also, I think the best info of the page, the XTK ( cross track ). This is the distance you are from the course or airway. Great tool when on a intercept angle to an airway or localizer.

The Progress page can be found on the Index page, right side ( R5 ).

Hope this information is helpful.
