After some tracking and multi layer confirmation, I'm very happy to put to an end the rumor that our Astronaut, Air Racer, Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson, had passed away this week...
A quote supplied to me yesterday, credited to Mike Keenum, who owns the airplane we see Hoot race at RENO, "Riff Raff" stated; "The rumors of Hoot's demise are greatly exagerated, he is alive and well"....
The person who did pass away and what, unfortunately, stated a distressing rumor for many, was Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson... A former WWII era pilot, Korean war Ace, served in Vietnam and was a former USAF Thunderbird leader...
Blue Skies to Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson.... LINK
Go get em next year to Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson
