Robert A. “Bob” Hoover is considered by many to be our greatest living aviator and has influenced generations of pilots with his precision flying and gentlemanly demeanor. Nicknamed “the Pilot’s Pilot” by his peers, Bob is largely unknown outside aviation circles despite his staggering array of accomplishments.

The film, "Flying the Feathered Edge" captures every nuance of Bob’s amazing life story by skillfully interweaving vintage still images, rare historic footage, and exclusive testimonials from other flight legends past and present—bringing this legend’s incredible life and story into the limelight.

Selections from "Flying the Feathered Edge" are presented in this lecture by Kimberly Furst, who directed, produced, and wrote the screenplay. She is joined by Sean Tucker, National Aviation Hall of Fame aerobatic pilot, and Museum curator Dorothy Cochrane.
