Read this about Bob Hoover....

Bob Hoover, one of history’s greatest pilots, dead at 94 | NewsCut | Minnesota Public Radio News

"Having been shot down over Nice, France during his 59th mission in World War II, Hoover spent 16 months as a POW, spending much of the time in solitary confinement as punishment for two dozen escape attempts. Finally, he succeeded just before the end of the war by stealing a German fighter."

That is ironic, and so sad. He brought a lot of ooohs and ahhhs to a lot of people.

 

[MossRoad]

Yeah he did.

I'd say he qualified as both old and bold....
