Hurt, USNR (ret.), formerly of Lexington Park died March 8 in Los Alamos, N.M. Born Feb. 1, 1921 in Dallas, Texas, he was the son of Robert L. Hurt and Margaret Turney Hurt. Cdr.

Cdr. Predeceased by his parents and sister, his first wife, Norma Teal Hurt, and his second wife, Nan Billingsley Hurt, Cdr. Hurt was 92 years old at the time of his death. Cdr. Hurt’s career as an aviator spanned 44 years, during which he logged 28,236 hours of flight time. His 24 years as a Navy pilot began in 1942 when, as a V5 cadet, he started his military training. He received his designation as a Naval Aviator in January 1944. He retired from the Navy on June 30, 1966. The August 1966 issue of Naval Aviation News gave a detailed account of his Navy career, the last 11 years of which Cdr. Hurt was known as the CNO’s pilot. Beginning in 1955 he was assigned to be the Aircraft Commander for three Chiefs of Naval Operations: Admiral Arleigh Burke (1955 to 1961), Admiral George Anderson (for two years: 1962 and 1963), and Admiral David M. McDonald (1963 to 1966). During his career in the Navy, Bob Hurt was involved in many noteworthy events. Two examples: while at Patuxent River NAS’ squadron VR- 1, flying the Atlantic leg of the Berlin Airlift, Operation Vittles in 1945; and while stationed at Westover AFB, MA (1949-’53), participation in Operation Bluejay – supplying materials and equipment to developing defense bases in Greenland (esp. Thule), as a result of which Bob Hurt, pioneering, along with his fellow VR-6 pilots, “...polar navigation techniques and cold-weather flying doctrine.”(Ens. Paul K. Brace, USNR, “CNO’S PILOT ENDS 24-YEAR CAREER”, Naval Aviation News, August, 1966) Bob Hurt continued to fly for an additional 20 years as Captain (Chief Pilot and Director of Operations) for the Emerald Shillelagh Chowder & Marching Society, a private air travel club based at Dulles International Airport, in northern Virginia. Beginning July 1, 1966, he flew the Shillelaghs to many foreign places including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Casablanca, and Dakar, Africa (to mention a few) often revisiting cities he had been to during his notable Navy career. He retired in 1986, after having made significant contributions in both his military and private sector service (as the Shillelaghs’ pilot by writing a rebuttal to proposed FAA regulations governing air travel clubs). In addition, he wrote a memoir Flying Above All Else that was published privately. Copies may be obtained through the family.

Sarah dedicated her life to Christ and her faith in Him kept her going all of these years. She was a faithful member of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, where she enjoyed attending and receiving the Word, until her illness made it too difficult for her to endure. Sarah was a homemaker who enjoyed cooking, gardening and having children around her. You could always find five or six children at her home every day. She loved children and they loved her. Sarah had such a good heart and her smile just lit up a room. She loved to have people come around, just to visit. There was nothing that she wouldn’t do for anyone. Sarah was known as the Queen of baking. If it went in an oven, she could bake it. Even when Sarah was using the old-style oven back in the day (if you can remember), she was still the Queen of baking. As a matter of fact, her baked goods tasted even better from that old oven. Family members were always calling on Sarah when they needed or just wanted to taste some delicious, old-fashioned baked goods. In addition to baking, she enjoyed canning such things as peaches and pears and making jelly. Sarah would gather up all of the children and everyone would be working.
