Well this is sad news. I saw him at my first Warbird MiniCon in Seattle. He was the speaker there. I had just read about him in an articile in Aviation History mag. Very interesting to listen to him. The one story I remember him tell us was that he was out in New Mexico doing some one on one in a T37. His neck was still sore from that flight.
