Hoot and pilot/country music star Aaron Tippin share their childhood memories on how they got started in aviation. They managed to sing a little bit to :)

“Because what happens during the reentry, we hit the top of the atmosphere, which is about 80 nautical nautical miles up - 400,000 feet. The flight path angle when we hit the air has to be one half degree down, one half a degree. If it's steeper than that you're gonna burn up. Because the thermal protection system on the orbiter, which the orbiter by the way is made out of aluminum, that's not going to tolerate more than about 300 degrees. We're gonna see 9000 degrees, because we're 25 times the speed of sound  - Mach 25.” -Hoot Gibson.

“I led the race for the first two laps. I was in the turn passing the pylons, and of course, all my attention is devoted out in front of me because we're only about 30 feet above the ground and I'm doing about 225 miles an hour. All of a sudden, I feel this, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And I was actually in a little bit of trouble because of where I was sitting at such a low altitude. When I started a right turn, I noticed my right wingtip looked like turkey feathers. I had noticed after I heard this bang, bang, bang, that all the race planes had landed. My buddy Don walked up to me after I taxied to a stop, and I asked him what happened? And he said, You mean you don't know that Rocky hit you and that he went in and crashed? I said, No.” -Hoot Gibson.
