In 1990, the San Diego Air & Space Museum inducted Anders into its International Air & Space Hall of Fame. A portrait of Anders can be found in the museum’s Space Gallery. Anders graduated from the Naval Academy in 1955 and served as a fighter pilot in the Air Force. He later served on the Atomic Energy Commission, as the U.S. chairman of the joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. technology exchange program for nuclear fission and fusion power, and as ambassador to Norway. He later worked for General Electric and General Dynamics, according to his NASA biography

Looks like he overestimated his altitude, it was a vintage plane. So he slammed the water too steep.

Hear me out. Should someone age 90 be flying a plane, much less doing stunts? serious question. Good thing he didnt take out any other citizens.
