As Bob modestly admits - "A great many former friends of mine are no longer with us, as they cut their margins too close......"
Bob Hoover (The Hoove) is the coolest of all pilots). And he is verry funny! I have once interviewed him, but what's even more funny is his Autobiography - a MUST aviation book!

Where was this @RobertL18C ?
Looks like a first generation 500.
What engines will be in that?
Straight O-540’s in that. An “entry level” plane, with a little less horsepower, but with the longer wings of the 560 models.
Beautiful airplane. Almost as pretty as the Fokker 27/50, almost.
