Once more, the missing man formation.
The missing man formation, notorious for it's employment at the funerals of famous airmen, needs to be out once more. I have just learned that Astronaut John Young has died at age 87.
He was a naval aviator, test pilot and selected for Astronaut Group 2. He was also command pilot of STS-1 and STS-9.

My condolences to Captain Young's family and friends.
