A Good Man, a Great Pilot, will be missed by many.

The Gritta Family sends deepest sympathy to the Anderson Family with Neil's passing. My first flight in a lightplane was with the Andersons in a Cessna 210 back in the early 70's. I flew right front on a leg and held the checklist for Mr. Anderson and thought I was a real pilot. We met in 1966, and one of Neils sons and I were close in age and we were friends for quite a few years up thru flight school in college. Neil had an extremely interesting career as a Marine fighter pilot, followed by some Atlas missile work, then with GD/FW on the F-111 and F-16 programs, and also some great warbird flying-including Reno. I am a better person for having known Neil and his Family, God Bless and Godspeed to all.

I met Mr. Anderson when he test flew an F-86 for the Texas Air Command Museum. He was a gentleman and a truly nice guy to all those around him. I had the privilege of strapping him in the F-86 one day. I was just a nobody and he treated me like he had known me forever. He will be missed. Zane Adams
