He took the famous "Earthrise" photograph on the Apollo 8 mission. One of the most influential photos ever taken. He crashed flying his private aircraft at the age of 90. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries ... rcna156149

90 years old, died flying...betcha that's what he had on his "if I have to go..." scorecard.
Of course, the picture from Apollo 8 is iconic, but damn, he got to be in a position to take it. For all the wonderful tourist shots I've taken in my life, nothing - EVER - will come close to him being able to say "I was here"
RIP Bill, and thanks.
