    He absolutely loved flying U-2s. He never said he was afraid. He would say, 'Dad, I'm well-trained. I know what I'm doing.'

    Dively joined the Marines and then later reenlisted with the Air Force in their pilot training program. A native of Canton, N.Y., he had flown in the military for 10 years including missions in Mogadishu and Sarajevo.
