The story of John Denver’s plane crash begins on October 12, 1997, when he took off from Monterey Peninsula Airport, a small regional airport serving the Monterey, California area. He performed three touch-and-go landings before heading out over the Pacific Ocean. However, Denver was flying illegally, as he did not have a pilot’s license at this time.
In the aftermath of John Denver’s death, the NTSB determined that poor placement of a fuel selector valve diverted Denver’s attention from flying. They speculated that John Denver crashed his plane when he accidentally steered it into a nosedive because he couldn’t reach the handle.
The valve selector switches the fuel intake to the engine from one tank to another so the plane can keep flying without refueling.
Gasp, maybe he should have renewed his license after all. But, he is a star…

The essence of his accident was that he ran out of gas. He had neglected to fill his tanks after the earlier flights. The fuel tank selector switch did come into play, but had he filled the main tank when he should have, it wouldn't have been an issue. He didn't inadvertently place his plane in a dive...it simply ran out of gas, nothing he could do to save it

Clever caption for a good shot, Tom.
Thanks a lot, Max. There were three more of these big birds further on down the row. They were swarmed by people so I didn't include them.
