One would think a premier aviation publication such as Air & Space would
get basic facts correct.

Page 13, In Memoriam, paragraph one...
"...Scott Crossfieldk 84 was killed las April when flying his
twin-engine Cessna 210A..."

The 1/2 page article also referenced the movie "The Right Stuff", where the
article stated "In the film, the X-15 shakes violently as it approaches Mach
2..." Um, sorry Sparky, the X-15 didn't appear in the movie. I'm surprised
either error got past the editor.

Kind of sad to make two factual errors in a 1/2 page article.
