Two Space Shuttle crew commanders were grounded by NASA for disciplinary reasons. Robert L. Gibson was grounded for one year after he flew a stunt plane, in a July 7 Texas air show, that collided with another plane and killed the second pilot. David M. Walker was grounded for 60 days because the T-38 jet aircraft he piloted in May 1989 nearly collided with a Pan Am Airbus 310 over Dulles Airport, according to the second pilot.
