RIP Maj Gen Joe Engle
http://www.collectspace.com/news/new...-obituary.html
Saw him flying an F-16 about 20 years ago, along side Chuck Yeager who was flying an F-15 to break the sound barrier to open the Edwards AFB show. Wasn't able to meet either of them as they were mobbed like rock stars along the flight line afterwards. However I did meet Gordon Fullerton that day and a few air show performers.

From the OP's link -
Engle was preceded in death by his STS-2 crewmate, Truly, in February of this year. With Engle's death, all 12 pilots to fly the X-15 are now deceased.
