When I told my 86 year old retired Air Force pilot Dad about Scott
Crossfield's death his comment was "At least he died doing something he
loved." No wonder they call them The Greatest Generation.


Sycophantic journalists named them that. They won WWII and we should be
forever grateful, but what's so great about building a hyper-consuming,
unsustainable economy? Just how I see it when I try to look from my
children's perspective.

I look at Crossfield's crash as proof that the sky is equally merciless,
no matter who, or how good a stick, you are.
For the sake of his reputation, I hope they find a medical reason for
the crash.
