Now that would be something I'd really like to see - someone trying to
chain Hoover down. Even if you could get the chains around him, he'd
just fly whatever you chained him down straight off the ground, do an
8 point role and disappear faster than anything the FEDs have to chase
him with.

Hoover seems to be able to fly anything and live through it (see Yeager's
book) - wings to him would seem to be merely a convenience rather than
a necessity. :-)

I sure hope that he dies calmly of old age and not out over the water
unable to recover from a spin.
