Scott Crossfield, was killed yesterday at the age of 84 while piloting his
Cessna 210A near Ranger, Georgia. Thunderstorms were reported in the area
at the time and some speculate that weather was a factor in the crash. An
aviation legend, Mr. Crossfield was the first man to fly at twice the speed
of sound and later in life was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of
Fame. More information, including some comments by Chuck Yeager, can be
