The Whittingtons led a colorful life. One should be so lucky, say whatever you feel about some of their dealings, but to go out giving a terminal friend a plane ride...

They were air racers before they were auto racers, and there is a poignancy about what happened, that he was in the air. Good on him and his heart. May he R.I.P.
