Description
Many who are familiar with aviation legend Robert A. "Bob" Hoover will doubtlessly agree that it's impossible to define his well-known airshow antics better than this sensational image created by world-renowned aviation artist Sam Lyons. In Hoover's Point of View, Lyons treats viewers to a glimpse of one of the Hoover maneuvers most often associated with the founding father of modern aerobatics: a low-altitude post-takeoff rollover in his quintessential Sabreliner jet. While the inverted aircraft at its center is sure to delight aerobatic enthusiasts, art aficionados will also admire the exceptional skill brought out in the background imagery. Lyons has diligently detailed everything from the gradually changing shade of the sky to the crowd of airshow attendees to the hazy peaks on the distant horizon - and more. Spend a few minutes poring over its details and you'll probably feel like you were actually there.
This picture is available as both an Artist Proof (limited to 30) and a signed & numbered Limited Edition print (limited to 250). Both versions are printed on acid-free paper, utilize first-rate permanent inks, and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Further adding to its appeal is the fact that Hoover himself has co-signed the piece along with the artist. A terrific tribute to the greatest stick & rudder pilot who has ever lived that further immortalizes his iconic legacy.
