Never realized he died in 1999 was around the time I stopped watching golf,anyone remember this..

1 Payne Stewart
1957-1999
The popular American golfer was flying from Florida to Dallas in October 1999 when his Learjet stopped responding to air traffic control within 24 minutes of take-off; a sudden drop in air pressure in the cabin had killed Stewart and the crew. For four hours the plane flew, on auto pilot, across six states. It was tracked by an American F-16 fighter, which was poised to shoot the plane down should it look like crashing in a populated area. From the F-16, the crew could see that the windows of the Learjet had iced over. It finally crashed in South Dakota, robbing golf of one of its few real characters
