RIP Hugh Downs.
Made it to 99 years old. Concentration, 20/20. A gentleman on TV for many years.

He was a glider pilot and did a segment on that for 20/20 when he lived in Carefree. The airport where he few out of was only a few miles from my house so I drove there and took an introductory flight. I loved it and took several others over the next few years including acrobatic flights. I never did get licensed though.
RIP. A class act. https://news.yahoo.com/hugh-downs-ge...185406994.html

Rest in peace.

It's actually a bit stunning (see other thread) to learn he was still around. 99 is quite the long life. Rest in Peace, sir.
