A man killed in the crash of a J3 Cub in Tennessee on Friday does not appear to have had a pilot certificate. There's a lot of attention on the mishap because the person killed was Scott Bloomquist, 60, a famous dirt track racing driver considered by many to be the best at the sport. In a 2023 interview with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bloomquist said he learned to fly from his father, soloed at 16 and failed his first attempt to get a certificate.
