Wilson Air Center Hosts Legendary Bob Hoover As Timeless Voice of Aviation Contact: Dave Ivey Vice President Wilson Air Center Phone: 901-345-2992 Email: [email protected] Wilson Air Center Hosts Legendary Bob Hoover As Timeless Voice of Aviation Memphis, Tennessee – April 27, 2007 –Wilson Air Center treated aviation enthusiasts to a rare and memorable evening for “Timeless Voices of Aviation.” Bob Hoover, a notable pilot, aerobatics champion and aviation icon spoke during the week of April 8th, drawing in pilots, airport officials, and professional aviators to all three Wilson Air Center locations in Memphis, Charlotte and Houston. Aviation enthusiasts listened intently as the legend told unique stories from his life and infancy of aviation. Hoover spoke of his flying and time spent as a POW in WWII, the Cold War, and the X-1 program. Audience members waited eagerly to have a chance to speak one on one with Hoover after the event, where he autographed pictures and copies of his book, Forever Flying. Hoover, born in 1922, was a World War II combat fighter pilot. Captured and made a prisoner of war, he escaped from a German prison camp by “liberating” a Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf and flying it to safety in the Netherlands. He is better known for being a test pilot and air show performer. He’s flown more than 300 types of aircraft and performed at more than 2,500 civilian and military air shows. His flying performances are legendary in the air show circuit. Hoover spoke of these experiences at Wilson Air Center, Houston on April 10, Memphis, April 11, and Charlotte, April 12. “Timeless Voices of Aviation” comes on the heels of founder and president of Wilson Air Center, Robert A. Wilson’s donation of the Wilson Theater-Timeless Voices of Aviation, at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh, WI. This generous gift allows EAA to preserve the stories of human accomplishments that mark aviation history. EAA recorded 440 video and oral history interviews covering nearly all aspects of aviation. These video histories share first-person recollections of key individuals who have participated in aviation during its first hundred years. Histories have been, and will continue to be collected from all areas of aviation. The motto of the program is “let no story go untold.” “With this thought in mind, Bob Wilson decided to ask aviation legend, Bob Hoover, to visit our customers, friends, and fellow aviators for an evening of fun, stories and histories,” says Dave Ivey, Vice President, Wilson Air Center. “Bob, through Wilson Air Center, wanted to bring Hoover to each of our FBO’s cities for all to enjoy.” Wilson was delighted to have his friend Bob Hoover speak for friends and customers. “I probably had the most fun of all,” says Wilson. “I got to spend four days and nights with an American icon, listen to different stories from world aviation history in three different cities and even got to fly him as my passenger!” With locations in Memphis TN, Charlotte NC and Houston TX, Wilson Air Center FBOs are renowned for their innovative approach to customer service and satisfaction that originated from roots within the hospitality industry. The Memphis location is the home to one of the world’s largest aircraft canopies, and is touted by the aviation industry as among the top fixed base operations in the United States for the quality of its services and the comfort and design of its facilities. Wilson Air Center – Memphis was recently named as the #1 FBO in the 2007 Aviation International News, making them the only FBO ever to be consecutively named #1 for eight years. They claimed this honor for years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Wilson Air Center was also named #1 FBO Chain in Professional Pilot’s PRASE Survey, the first FBO to be named #1 in both industry surveys in the same year. Wilson Air Center – Charlotte was named #8 FBO in the U.S. by Professional Pilot’s PRASE Survey after only two years of operation.

    International Aerobatic Club CHAPTER 38 January 2010 Newsletter PREZ POST Happy New Years! First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to 2010. It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. 2009 was a very difficult year for the economy, aerobatic community, Quisque .03 and air show industry. Like many of you, I’m looking forward to a much brighter year. The economy seems to be turning around, aircraft are starting to trade hands, and camps are starting to get scheduled. Unlike the rest of the country, the Bay Area weather has been rather calm, Cory Lovell allowing many of us the opportunity to get in a few practice President, Ch 38 sessions. I’ve also talked to several members who are taking the winter months to change out radios, upgrade engines, and fix the little things kept getting pushed out because of a contest. Integer .05 Continued on Page 2………. Issue [#]: [Issue Date] Continued from Page 1……. As you may have noticed, this is the first newsletter in a couple of months. With the unfortunate loss of Che Barnes and the retirement of Peter Jensen, we did not have anyone come forward to help with the Newsletter (we’re still looking for a couple volunteers). 2009 was also a crazy year for me, hence the fact I haven’t been able to get out a newsletter. I left my job in September to travel to Spain, then over to Germany of Oktoberfest. I also took some time to put together a website for Sukhoi Aerobatics and spend some time doing formation aerobatics training with Bill Stein and Russ Piggott.

  • NEWSLETTER President's Report
    July 2015 IAC38NEWSLETTER President’s Report Bob Hoover is very excited to get his very own copy of Sport Aerobatics with the Nice Pitts article autographed by Beth. Beth, Bob and Kim Furst, director of "Flying the Feathered Edge: the Bob Hoover Project" You Say Selfish Like It’s a BAD Thing “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman I overheard a member at our last chapter meeting state how he thought flying aerobatics was one of the most selfish things a person could possibly participate in. I’ve heard other variations of this particular sentiment: aerobatic pilots are self-centered, self- absorbed, are in it all for themselves, do not give back, blah, blah, blah. (continued) 1 A Radical Notion Nobody is born to be the keeper of YOU. Everyone is in this life for themselves. And this is not a bad thing. Everyone has a source within them that is guiding them to their best interest. Everyone has a personal GPS and is being called toward an improved life experience. If everyone, or most of them or some of them are hearing the call and moving toward it, can you imagine how magnificent this world would become? –Ester Hicks You cannot be anything but selfish. I realize this is an emotionally charged concept and indignant hackles may be already rising, but hang in here with me. Embracing the self-ness part of selfish allows you to navigate toward your passion, mission, vocation and profession; your PURPOSE.
