Anders died on 7 June 2024, at the age of 90, while flying the vintage T-34 registered to him with the FAA,[46] the aircraft which crashed into Puget Sound between Jones Island and Orcas Island.[47][48][49][50] The plane was witnessed diving into a small channel between the two islands and then sinking after catching fire.[51] After witnesses reported seeing the plane take a nosedive and crash in the water, the U.S. Coast Guard and the San Juan County Sheriff's Department launched a search.[52] Later that day, Anders' son, Greg, confirmed the death of his father and that his body had been recovered.[53][54] Beginning with his Air Force career, Anders had logged at the time of his death over 8,000 flight hours.[55]

Damn, that sucks.
Let's see, Scottie Crossfield, Sparky Immeson, Dale Snodgrass, now Anders. Yeah, he was 90, but still. All very, very excellent pilots, died in flight.

And there are others. Steve Fossett come to mind. I can’t help but think of the movie “Secondhand Lions.” Those who’ve seen it will know what I mean.
