James Mountain Inhofe, a tireless aviation advocate and Republican retired Senator from Oklahoma, has died at the age of 89 after suffering a stroke on July 4.

He was Oklahoma’s longest serving Senator who served as chairman of both the Armed Services and the Environment and Public Works committees. Aircraft manufacturer Boeing avoided a messy trial and potentially much higher financial penalties by pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the federal government via the FAA.
