Very Cool! Travis was so lucky! Great job

Dam the plane hits a pecan tree?? it could not have been more than 50 feet in the air ?? It must have been movin fast to leave a debree field like it did. His music is like Gorden lightfoots so well written and sung with awesome guitar melodies both by Gord and Red Shea...Just think of the music that could have been written if Jim and Maury survived!

Did the property owner not know that a plane crashed on his land? It seems strange that this airport manager had to spot the crash site from the. Air.

Wow I grew up and live on that mountain and had no idea. I’m a pilot and had no idea. I’m going there this weekend in my jeep to explore now

This time, you are trying to cover your evil wish. Now my flight has been over, as I have arrived, to my beloved wife safely. You have to wait till I fly next time.

NO ONE CARES

Interesting!!

The group was chased out of town by the sheriff who said no encore. His daughter googled eyed a guy in the band. The pilot rushed by running out to airport. No preflight or planning.😢

Still Love His Music And Currently Cover Rick’s Music During My Karaoke Shows. I Sing Them , And Try To Sound Like Ricky As I Remember , Watching Him Sing ,On TV. Every Week. 😢

Even though I saw so many different shows about Altamont, and they always tell the same story I still keep watching them .

Thank you for the background on Clemente and the details of the accident flight. As always, you've done a phenomenal job.

Are you getting FS2024?

Interesting. I learned more about this talented young man. He was wonderful!

Danny ❤❤❤❤

OMG I love this ! I've never heard their speech promos about joining the winter dance party. Richie sounds so young and sweet ! I also loved your commentary. Thanks so much. The flight was so cool and novel as well ❤

I’m a big Jim Croce fan and I enjoyed this video, particularly how you have combined it so well with various source materials and a hobby I enjoy, flight simulation in beautiful VR, very often. I have simmed this same flight myself a few times. One item that trips up many Croce historians 19:26 is the fact that Jim did not actually write his hit song I Got A Name. The song was written by the famous songwriting duo of Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox who already had several hits to their credit. It’s an easy assumption to make, as the song so perfectly chronicles Jim’s own life and relationship with his father who had recently passed. Jim could so easily have written it, but he did not. Everything about that song is pop perfection and it remains one of my favorite songs to this day. Thanks for making this cool video that is a nice tribute to Jim, Maury and those that were lost along with him on that tragic day.

Ricky. It didn't need to go down this way bro.

You need to do Scott Bloomquist!

Never trust Florida Man. All manner of random evil comes from those people.

i can only wonder what the physiological profile of the charter service looked like? could it be that he was some kind of religion zeolite, and rock and roll in his mind was of the devil, and sending his inexperienced un rated pilot for instrument rating, he knew was not a qualified pilot for this flight ? weather indicted snow crappy visibility, what some say was a black field providing poor visibility? did all of the factors ad up to his wipe out? noting the wreckage , it looked like the angel of inclination was low between 8-15 degrees? the plan looks like it hit hard nose first or as the NTSB stated its right wing hit then the nose in-packed at 120 mph? the singers bodies ejected an the pilots infused into the cockpit remains. obviously the only adult in this equation was the charter service owner! this is the focus of the problem for it was his lack of due diligent that killed the young singers he was well aware of the acting pilots lack of experience flying in what can only be said were instrument conditions! second in command was Peterson who had the final decision as pilot to go or not? i was tough when i earned a single engine land in 1986 was when in dout sit it out! and a few time i had to stay at a hotel waiting for VFR weather conditions. i support pilot error as the cause of death. and the question must be asked did the young pilot have a death wish? i ask cuz he is dead. for the youtube record, i always heard that the banana V tail was known as a doctor killer! as it has retractable landing gear, variable pitch prop, high performance engine!

I cannot EVER listen to the song Operator and not cry my eyes out, 50+years 😢

I don’t think he was ever on Murder She Wrote. He did do an episode of Streets of San Francisco and other tv dramas. I wish someone could pull all those episodes into one disk. I’d buy it in a heartbeat. 😢❤

Did the plant crash in a cow field or at the airport in Texas?

The people on the plane die they in the fire before the crash?

Whoever did this story on Ricky Nelson got his facts wrong about the Nelson family.

In 1952 Ricky Nelson would have been 12 not 7 on their TV show on his TV show

Did Ricky Nelson and his whole band died on that plane? Who survived the plane crash?

Did did Lynyrd Skynyrd have the same kind of plane when it crashed ?

What year was Ricky Nelson plan made?

The pilots fault. Entirely

Interesting approach, employing Flight Sim. Most of these dead star videos seem to be all unrelated AI "artwork" with random airplanes and bad writing. And, yes, the Beech 18 was a handful, at least for the years I flew one.

Omg its Final Destination!!!?¿¿?¡¡¡So he was supposed to be on the Challenger.. it famously imploded after takeoff causing death of all on board. So he got lucky that time but Death hadnt forgotten about him... Took a few years but death still had his card..... 😮

I and my whole family always watched the show every week we loved it l grow up with it l have just about all of Rick's music and still listen to it today so sad the band and all on that DC 3 l and my wife go to Rick and the band in Ocean City Md in1977 and going to his sons show this wk in on 9 15 2024

R.I.P. Jim Reeves

Jim crooce , john denver .. a triple Js end

GREAT VIDEO - LOVE John Travolta and as an MCO native, appreciate the usage of the APM welcome spiel of our beloved mayor Buddy Dyer!

The frame rate is absolute insanity. I’m sorry.

17:17 is that photo a still from the air crash investigation episode or is it real?

He passed the FAA written examination but he was not instrument rated, there was only five mile visibility with no visible horizon, according to other pilots who flew that route that night.

Otherwise known as JFK jr's suicide flight.

It was a tragedy but the family that lost both daughters suffered the most imo.

Such a tragic loss. 💔

I’ve missed your flights. This was such a sad event.

Thank you 😊😊😊

How come the pilot and co pilot survived , but the others didn't ,couldn't they get near the cockpit?????? .

If Pasty Cline,and the others,had went on a private bus, I do believe that Pasty Cline, as well as the others, would have made the the trip and back to Nashville with problems.I wish I could turn back the hands of time.❤❤

Beautiful singing and amazing voice , rest in heavenly peace and entertain all the angels with your beautiful voice

Was Pasty Cline, pockbook wallet and her lighter, ever found?Why steal from someone, like Pasty Clline.Poeple take the things back!! Turn them in to Pasty Cline Collections.I pray for Pasty Cline and your Family.❤❤❤

I wish, that plane crash had not went through if they had stayed at the Hotol in Draybrug Teen. then they lefted the airport, the wild was pushing at 60 miles ph.and low visibilty,with rain.That just dont not make any type of sense.It seems like that Piolt, was in a hurry to get back to Nashville,I wish that Patsy Cline, rode back with one of her friends and huband.She would be alive today,and sining everywhere!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
