Who was the guy who had the landing gear mounted on top of the plane so he could land inverted?

For pure pilot skill it has to be Bob Hoover, although guys like John Mohr do a great job on "little" power too.
For pure holy s#!t factor, the Jet Waco and the late Jimmy Franklin. Kyle has jet mount hardpoints on the Demon 1 (a/k/a Dracula).

I was there that year.
That thing was amazing to watch!
I was wondering the other day what ever happened to him and his plane.
This made me chuckle, though...

Delmar Benjamin "retired" the Gee Bee after several years.
Gotta mention Leo Loudenslager, too.
John Mohr. What Patty or Bob of the others do is great, but in many cases it is a lot the airplane. John does his in a STOCK !!!!! 220 hp Stearman. It is 75% pilot and only 25% airplane. I have noticed some of the top acro pilots stopping to watch him in awe, as he goes down the flight line on knife edge at about 100 feet off the runway. Delmar was great too, and a nice guy. He took me for a ride in his Buecker one time at no charge. That is quite a plane!
