RIP Eric 'Winkle' Brown. It is reported that Eric 'Winkle' Brown has passed away. For those fans of aviation history, tis indeed a sad day. Coming from an aviation family this is indeed sad news.

My not political announcement: 
 If you are in one of the 12 states that has a primary today, please go vote. It does actually matter, particularly for the downballot races. And arguably, those positions make a bigger difference in your daily life, so go do it.
