monthes before I click a link and saw a video clip about a Aviation master who turned off the engine and then fly YOYO and then touch&go and then keep stunt movement.... and so on. and he do all of these incretible things with engines off, for long time. Mybe it is in an era after  WW2
I can not remember his name. it is highly possible he is a American.
I am not sure his name begin with C or .. I really forget.

I had the honor to watch Bob Hoover do this at an Airshow at Latrobe, PA back in the 80's. He flew a Shrike Commander, did several stunts, including rolls and a loop, then landed and rolled right to the center of the apron to a stop without engine or brakes. After landing and coming down the taxiway, he was going so slow I didn't think he would make it, but he did, rolling to a stop right where he was suppose to be. Just amazing!!!!!!!!!!
