Bob Hoover is one of the greatest pilots who has ever lived.  We're lucky that films like this exist.

I don't find the tea part very difficult, its just a 1G barrel roll.

In a simulator I could pull the required flight path no sweat, give the opportunity I think I could do it in real life.

As for the rest, wow, he certainly knew his aircraft.

Greatest aerobatic showman ever. I feel privileged to have seen him perform at an airshow when I was a kid.

That's awesome. Wish I could have as well.  He is truly an American legend.
