Amazing aviators sometimes meet their fate in the fashion one would least expect. Richard Bong....top shelf fighter ace from the WWII Pacific Theather died test flying an early jet following an engine failure on take off. Fossett dying as he did is just another testament to Ernest Gann's firm belief in Fate is the Hunter.
Aviation, sailing, Ironman competitions....Fossett was a record setter. Don't we wish we had just a wee tiny bit of his daring, ability, and personal fortitude?
Sail On Lad....Happy Landings on the other side!
