I was informed today via email from his wife that Lew Nelson passed away on Jan. 16, 2015. He had fought a long battle with Parkinson's and is now at peace. There will be no services and cremation then ashes scattered at sea.Lew was a long time Northrop test and chief test pilot. He was known for flying the first flight of the YT-38 (T-38) and N-156F (that became the F-5), and the Northrop A-9. His last appearance was at Spacefest in 2011, where he suffered a stroke at the show. RIP Lew, a dear friend. |
