We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.
Re: Video - Bob Hoover Pouring Tea During Barrel Roll
I shouldn't be watching at work. Is this the one where he explains the hardest part was pouring it backwards so he could keep his arm out of the way of the camera?

Simply the greatest.
Does anyone know if his Saberliner routine was ever caught on film??
One of the SkyFire tapes (Can't remember which one but around 1989) had the Saberliner routine from outside, and then inside shot from behind Bob so you see control inputs and out the windshield.
Great video, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. That man is truly an outstanding pilot, the skill and accuracy in which he performs those maneuvers is almost unbelievable!! I got to meet him at Reno 2000 and he signed my pilot's license.(couldn't think of anything better to get it on!) I never saw the tea routine before, at first it looks like a great gag, but I guess you can do whatever you want as long as you keep all axis loadings at 1g. The engine-out stuff was great too. Thanks for sharing this video, my hat goes off to Mr. Bob Hoover!!!
