Touchdown! Greaser!
During lunch today, I saw an error I would expect in the local paper, but not in Air & Space from the Smithsonian!
It says on page 13 of the June/July 2006 issue, in a sidebar memorializing Scott Crossfield, "he was killed last April when the twin-engine Cessna 210A he was flying from Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama to his home in northern Virginia went down in a Georgia thunderstorm."
Last I checked, a Cessna 210A is a single-engine plane.

The 210 is what he was flying, I've checked that out; I think the author must have been confused and thinking of a 310.
