Very good info! I wish I had known this before, I would have talked to you.

Wow really

The only star they had in the city ever that’s why lol

Indeed.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

dwyer air it wasnt ao much the pilot it was the owner of the airport

Taking off and flying in that weather isn't a big deal if you are certified to fly on instruments alone. My father in law was a pilot in WWII. He wasnt a fighter or bomber pilot but flew supply missions to India. He took us out in hus plane several times and we hit a storm one time and he had to fly on instruments alone. Let me tell you that looked as confusing as hell and I doubt I could have done it with a ton of training. Also, they say that is why JFK Jr crashed his plane. Clouds came in while he was flying so he couldn't see the stars or moon and he hit the water cause he was inverted and pulling up which would make him point down even more. Plus there is a big question surrounding about who was actually flying when they crashed. I guess Buddy Holly was well known for piloting himself instead of the hired pilot when he chartered planes. It just doesn't make sense to send out that pilot who couldn't fly on instruments and who wasn't certified for night flying either. It would make sense if Buddy Holly told the person he rented the plane from to just send the cheapest pilot they had because he would be doing the flying. That makes it all plausible. Sending that pilot to fly famous musicians on that night made zero sense. He would have known he was setting himself up for a massive lawsuit if anything happened. I'm sure if that was the case that he didn't come out with the story because I highly doubt their insurance company would cover the lawsuits if Holly was actually flying and he knew he was going to. You see now that is what a conspiracy theory should look like. It should make sense and be actually plausible. Not like some of the crap that goes around today. Like Hugo Chavez (who had been dead for 5 years) worked with Cuba and Spain to change votes from Trump to Biden. See how that doesn't make sense at all?

One of the saddest things I heard was they went to Iowa when they could have just rescheduled, because they had other locations on the way that they were going to back track to, where the whether was better. So they went the long way instead, so if only...

​​@@robertschumann7737 They found the pilot trapped in the wreckage, still strapped into the pilot's chair, while everyone else was ejected (there are pictures of all of this). I've read up a lot on this incident over the years and never have come across where it's been said Holly was possibly flying the plane--where have you come across this information?

Would love to hear the stories.

Sorry about your father. He's in a well-kept place for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience. Would have loved to have visited with the gentleman.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave m, 🙌🏼

I went there on a field trip around 4th grade. I never knew it was where his funeral was held.

This was a fun vid for me.

Unfortunately now that neighborhood looks like trash times have changed I used to live in the neighborhood that looked like a fairy tale everything was beautiful The grass was well kept green and everything looks so fresh and The trees were green and spectacular I remember them days when I was about six or seven years old recently I went back to visit my old house and neighborhood back in Texas The house is still there but it just didn't look like when I was a kid growing up there The neighborhood looked like shit weeds everywhere garbage streets were all torn up I mean it was nowhere near what I imagine some 50 plus years ago it's sad because when I went back I had a lot of memories in my mom and my brothers and sisters living in that house unfortunately they're all dead now and that's all I remember to reminisce in the past is to remember where your root started where it all began and that's all I got to say it's all I can say

Love it.

Thank you for sharing. I'll be back there soon.

I would like to visit his grave is it open to visitors

Yes you can. @@carinarosales6899

I went to Bishop Alemany High School on Rinaldi Street in Mission Hills. Oh Donna was always played at dances there. They knocked it down after quake damage and rebuilt it closer to the Mission. My grandparents are buried near Ritchie. We were at Pacific Ocean Park the time Ritchie was playing there. They built Pacoima Lutheran Memorial Hospital a few years after the DC-7 parts crashed into his Junior High School. The burn victims didn't have enough nearby Emergency Room places to get treatment and a new hospital was badly needed. My mom was Head Nurse over there. A quake wrecked the hospital and they had to demolish it. The earlier Sylmar quake of February 9th, 1971 scared me to death and changed the way I live forevermore, always prepared.

I like it. Nice info. @@kimmer6

He never bought the T-Bird. Had plans when he returned from the Winter Dance Party. Don't those oranges look juicy!

What’s so hard to believe?

Thank you. And I appreciate your comment and view.

Thank you for sharing.

Indeed.

You are kind. Thank you.

Wow really l born on November 1972 Mexico now I'm 50 RIP 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 From Edinburg Texas

Thanks for watching. @@user-hw4cd6ks2q

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave Ur very welcome 🤗

I was about 6 years old when my parents took my brother and I to Pacific Ocean Park. Ritchie was playing there. There was a crowd of teens crowded to get into the area where he would be playing. Some were rough and pushy so my parents went around to avoid the crowd and we went to the Diving Bell ride. After his plane crash, my parents remembered the day we went to P.O.P. and asked us if we recalled that Ritchie Valens was there. My brother and I both said yes. P.O.P. was the most awesome amusement park with Under the Sea theme. It's gone, then Marineland took its place for years, now it's all townhouses. I often play Ritchie's songs on Bluetooth in my car. My high school in Mission Hills was about a mile from where Ritchie and his mom and my gramma and grandpa are buried. Oh Donna was always played at our dances. Thanks for remembering him.

Thats quit a memory and awesome story. Sorry to hear about your sister.

Thank you.

It is a nice place.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave Yeah it is, after I went to katikism and did my First Holy Communion at the church in Granada hills, that's where my Grandma and Grandpa lived, my parent's and I lived in San Fernando, I would go to that church and got to participate in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, also my best friend's Mom and family knew Ritchie Valens back in the day, thanks for the video.

Nice! @@Joseph-eu6jp

Sad for sure. Way too young.

Thank you.

Nice. I need to get out there soon.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave Mac Davis head stone is beautiful with two bench with lyrics of his songs, need to ask my friend about the other musician that there also not as famous but still history. Will ask him again and get back with you.

My cousin are related to Waylon Jennings and one has open a restaurant in Littlefield called the Outlaw Cafe, in Lubbock there is a Buddy Holly museum and the drummer old house has been moved there you can go in also.

I just looked it up and there are about 7 famous graves I can do. I've been to Buddy's but wasnt into utube yet. I remember eating at Cagles or someting like that. @@GoldieJoRv

Nice. I did a vid on Waylon's grave location in AZ. @@GoldieJoRv

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Thanks for your comment.

Who was bubbie holly? Lol

The show went on? BTW do you know of a missing news anchor originally from MN who went missing close to Clear Lake Iowa, Jodie Husentruit?

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave yes it went on, Bobby Vee heard about a call for somebody to play. right before he went that night he saw his band mates shadows on the wall and called them the Shadows.They just ran her story last week, about every 3-4 years they do that. It's as cold as it gets. She lived alone in apartment complex.

@@usselpasoable I got her sister insured out here. I think she will do an interview.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave that would be great, I remember that story very well from here in Kansas city MO

@@Kymoon99 Nice part of the country and welcome to the channel.

Indeed!

Indeed!

Very true.

I've looked hard and could not find any.

They were headed up to Morehead MN. Buddy wanted to get some laundry done and the Booper had the flu so he was on the plane to see a DR in Morehead. Ritchie won the coin toss for the seat. Very sad. One day, I'm coming to the Surf ballroom and then going to the crash site. Thanks for your comments. Please subscribe as this is a new channel for me.

Good to hear.

As long as you are in public, you can film ANYTHING. I've had cops called on me many times and they always tell the caller that it's legal as long as I'm standing in public. Your eyeballs cannot be trespassed. Cool about ghosts.

seen his ghost where?

Not me. @@beckyquintanilla5824

I felt Rithie in that block I felt his present their, does Rithies fam, still own the house?

No, it was sold many years ago. @@rosemarie-dj4bn

I glad he is still being played.

Mr first commenter! You ask great questions. No, I don't know for sure. I think Connie Lemons, a sister is still around though.

If holly was not dead i don t think than the beatles could nt be so famous

@@megalofm Good point.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave And i m a big fan of the beatles ^^

@@megalofm Nice!

Good to hear from you. And thanks for sharing,

Thanks

Actually, it was 1959.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks for your information. I would love to see the footage.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave check out when Ritchie was induced in the rock n roll hall of Fame, I do believe that's when they show home video of him and his family, and a song of his that most definitely would have been a hit

The song I'm referring is at the end of footage before they show him in a movie with Chuck Berry, great stuff considering he would get on that plane months later, Damit.....,

@@Sam-dz2vr Thank ytou.

@@Sam-dz2vr Thanks for the awesome info!

Interesting.

Nice story. Paperwork would be priceless.

Wow! I didn't know this.

Thanks Keith. Maybe one day I can get there.

She is now 66.

Nice.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing.

Indeed.

Thanks!

No, they don't. And no I didn't but a younger girl came out while I was there and drove off to work, I think. Hardly looked at me like it happens a lot. It was more awkward going into the church.

I know. It's in my video if you watch it.

Yes it is.

Indeed.

The house? Church?

Sad.

Nice!. I'll look for it.

Wish I'd known this.

Thank you. Wish I knew. It is royalty-free music from KZfaq.

Deep thinking!

Very nice place.

Thank you. As much as I'd like too, I can't because she is South TX and I'm in Nevada.

Good info.

Pacoima

No.

No, The Booper because he was ill.

Yes they did.

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave thank you!

People do live in the home. They are used to pics and videos being done and don't mind it. They respect Ritchies's legacy.

Does anyone no what happened to the house after richie died some stars at that time made a down payment is why I'm asking

@@aquariusdevine2681 I've never heard and I looked on-line and no info was found. A young lady came out of the house on her way to work and thought nothing of me doing a video so this must be a common occurance. I wanted to always be respectful.

Thank you for the info.

Thats every musician.

@@Ryan2022 Thr best.

A lot of Hollywood stars have simple graves. And some are elaborate.

Thats sad.

Yes.

Had nice fruit trees.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Glad you noticed.

Very sad.

Thank you.
