Crossfield, Col.,CAP, died of sudden stoppage, with his boots on, and in conditions that can trap any pilot, Embedded Thunderstorms with nowhere to go.
I wouldn't mind going at that age, (unexpected sudden death doing something I love) as long as I am alone in the Airplane.

And I hope a Georgia Wing, CAP Search and Rescue Team, were the first on the Scene, it would be fitting, to have them there.

I certainly hope that I die, peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not screaming in stark terror... LIKE HIS PASSENGERS!!!

He and his crowd shook the windows before they outlawed the sonic "BOOM!".
