Bill, just a side. I watched Hoover perform deadstick at the Dayton Airshow
one year when he performed the following: after using airspeed from
altitude to perform various wingovers, loops and such, he landed deadstick,
rolled down the runway, onto the ramp.....still no engines.......got out of
the rolling airplane 50 or so feet from the fence....he is taxing directly
towards the crowd.....walked next to the rolling airplance, then placed the
chock under the nosegear.........10 or so feet from the fence, whereup he
removed his hat and bowed!!!

not!

For fans of energy-management-aerobatics, look for an act by Kent Peach at
your local airshows. Kent flies an Interstate Cadet, which is a high-wing,
two-place, side-by-side airplane somewhat like a Fleet Canuck. He starts
off high, shuts the engine off, and performs loops, rolls, spins, down to
ground level, does a "high-speed" pass, pulls up into a 180, and lands on
the closest runway or taxiway. Then he rolls up towards the crowd where
his assistant is standing with his hand up, and rolls the airplane right up
to the assistant, placing the spinner in his hand. The claim is that it's
done without using the brakes, but who knows really.
The two best crowd-approach manouevers i've seen so far are Bob Granley's
(he turns the harvard tail-first to the crowd, and backs it up to the
fence, while looking over his shoulder like he's backing up a car) and
Delmar Benjamin's (he does a pirouette in front of the crowd, when the side
of the Gee-bee with the door gets out of sight, he unlatches it and
positions himself in the doorway, then when it comes around again he pops
out and bows to the crowd as the plane stops turning.
