He Died Doing What He Loved...

Scott Crossfield, X-15 test pilot and another of "The Right Stuff" fraternity, is dead. He died Thursday in the crash of his single-engine Cessna 210A. Weather is suspected to be a possible cause. Crossfield, 84, was the pilot-in-command and only person on board.

I hope I'm still capable of walking if I make it to 84.

RIP, Mr. Crossfield. The world is a smaller place.
