Default James R. Gannett died

That obit says

"Gannett was best known in the Northwest for co-piloting a Boeing 707
jetliner that performed two barrel rolls over Lake Washington in
1955."

Is that correct? Wasn't it Tex Johnston? Was Gannett the copilot?



Do you have reason to doubt the obit?


Obits are in newspapers. That should automatically raise suspicion.
Not as much suspicion as network TV though...
