In Bob Hoff's family, teenagers didn't just get a driver's license. They also got a pilot's license because they never knew when to run out the back door, jump in a plane, take off from a grass runway and look for a lost cow. As Bob explains, every family has their passion, and for the Hoff family, it is farming and aviation. Bob shares stories from his first barrel roll with his Dad to helping develop a museum in his local community to teach about the beauty and history of soaring the skies.
