Peterson tried to revert to his incomplete training once he saw no horizon was visible. He not only misinterpreted his Sperry F-3 but also psychosomatically set himself up to believe he was climbing, when he was descending. Spatial disorientation, the classic killer of novice pilots in IFR conditions. heading 315 magnetic, impact airspeed 170 knots at an 80-degree right bank, descent rate 3,000 fpm. All 4 aboard died instantly on impact. Those are the facts, so stop jacking off here, dumbass.

Conspiracy-theory bullshit. Pilot Peterson was not IFR-rated and failed his checkride weeks before. He also had an inner ear issue the flight physical caught and he received a training waiver for. His training occurred on planes with modern gyros; the V-35 had a Sperry F-3 which operated on the opposite fashion. There was less than 1,800 feet between cloud and ground, no blizzard, light snow, conditions worsening. There was zero view of the horizon, which a non-IFR-rated pilot relies on...

Didn't know they hit the ground going 170knots, that is nearly 200mph raw. When you factor in rotation(he was turning at the time of impact) and nose pitched downward, the impact force had to be greater than 200mph.

It had to be double or greater.

Take a look at the fuselage after the wreckage, cone shaped. That plane must have rolled several times for it to wind up in that condition. This was an instant death, they never knew they hit the ground by the time they were dead.

This is crap.

That last quote that flashes on the screen by Barb Dwyer (wife of Jery Dwyer, who owned the charter flight company and plane) is so cryptic and creepy. She's quoted as saying something very similar in a book I have about the crash but she refused to go into details with the author. Just very unsettling and haunting

@SenorSpode Agreed! This is just another Dale Gribble finding something to call his own while Sug's out getting her headaches healed by John Redcorn! Here's the conspiracy, spatial disorientation!

[TheMagneto187]

In an all too brief career, Ritchie Valens was the first Chicano rock and roll star, having his best remembered hit, "La Bamba," just one month before his untimely death with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper on February 3, 1959.

They were shot down from the grassy knoll

LOL really? I hope people out there aren't wasting their time even thinking about this. What a joke haha.

@SenorSpode I don't know about Peterson's skills, but my great grand, luftwaffe pilot in the 2ww, tells me the first rule a pilot must get clear from the begining is always to trust your instruments and NEVER believe or think something else, like you are flying upside down, or climbing or descending. So Peterson was an imprudent pilot who murdered the 3 singers by negligence.

@SenorSpode The same people that killed MLK killed these singers -
