Nope, this ain't the "Areobatics" Bob Hoover.  This Bob Hoover was one of
the original listees right here on the Vanagon List way back in the day,
then he migrated to the spinoffs, Type2 and VintageBus because that's what
he drove and worked on.  Author of the famous and hard-to-find "Bob Hoover
Sermons" about all kinds of VW repair.  Just plain ole good common sense.
He did some home-built planes and flying and when talking/writing on the
subject, signed as RS Hoover to keep from getting confused with the other.
