I don't think Scott would think kindly of calling his 210 a "lowly bug
smasher". During at least one public presentation when Scott was asked
what his favorite aircraft was he said "a Cessna 210, because it's mine
and it's paid for!" That's the Scott Crossfield I will remember. He was
a great supporter of teachers and of aviation education and always managed
to find time to come to the science fair at the elementary school that
carries his name. He came to the Arbor Day celebrations as well. He was
a good soul and will be missed.

Is there no end to the people you know? g

Seriously, it sounds like (from what everyone that knew him has posted) he
was a special individual. He will be missed in the aviation community, and
by his friends.

Although I don't believe he would not have purposely packed it in by flying
into a storm, I can't help thinking that he would be glad to have bought the
farm, while doing what he loved, what his life was all about; flying.

Godspeed, Scott.
