Surprised you missed John Denver.

I’d hate to be the asshole, but perhaps those planes are crashing with the wrong musicians... 


Don’t forget the Robby with one of the Montgomery Gentry guys last year.

I had assumed that was an intentional omission.  John Denver was his own pilot who unfortunately died for one of the dumbest of reasons.

[Colonel]

All of those listed were non-pilot and notable passengers that died in perfectly
functioning airplanes, until the impact.  I am sure I have missed many more.

There are many, many lessons to be learned from history, but here's one:

Of the 256 deaths above, 206 (80%) would have been avoided by this
lesson which I keep repeating over and over again:

Confucius say: Airline Pilot without GS make "Hard Landing"

[Colonel]

LPV instead of ILS:
