RICHMOND, VA (OCTOBER 14, 2015) - Following their hugely successful European Premiere FLYING THE FEATHERED EDGE: The Bob Hoover Project will be at the center of a national Veteran’s Day event.

Tickets are available currently through the Bob Hoover website and movie theater host, Tugg until November 1st but are expected to sell out.

During the film Bob Hoover shares some of his WWII experience, including the time he was shot down off the coast of southern France and taken prisoner only to escape 16 months later by stealing a German Fw 190 and flying to safety. Hoover’s personal stories are shared along with conversations with actor and pilot Harrison Ford and air show legend Sean D. Tucker.

The film also includes appearances by Neil Armstrong, Clay Lacy, Dick and Burt Rutan, Carroll Shelby and other experts in the aerospace field.
