85 is a good run. His run was exceptional.

The Variviggen that his brother Burt designed .....

He had a good run with some wacky **** that his Brother designed.

 

[Hey-O]

And thank you for your service... R.I.P. We think of these people after death, think of the things he did, that few could or would.

Two other brothers come to mind.
Kitty Hawk.

“We had the freedom to pursue a dream, and that’s important," Dick Rutan said at the ceremony. “And we should never forget, and those that guard our freedoms, that we should hang on to them very tenaciously and be very careful about some do-gooder that thinks that our safety is more important than our freedom. Because freedom is awful difficult to obtain, and it’s even more difficult to regain it once it’s lost.”
