Bob Hoover from 1:05 to 1:10.
Just saw him at our local Veteran's Day parade 2012. He is 90 now. Wiki
him sometime... hell of a man and a pilot's pilot. Shot down in WWII,
escaped from POW camp, stole a German FW-190, and flew himself to
freedom! They had to make all airplane cockpits bigger for him after
that, to fit those big brass ones!
