Since the Wright brothers first flight in 1903 Avation has been a Blessing and a curse. Many of the great talents of stage, screen, and sport have died in the air before there time. For best answer, give the best listing of stars & celebs death by plane. The era is from 1903-till today. May be fixed wing or rotory aircraft. You must give the name of the person. Date of event would be nice as is what they are known for would be a Pluss. We prefer you use Weblinks as sources rather than answers please. I'd like you to work for your 10 points. Remember they must be of some note

Bunch of NASCAR people missing from the list. Don't forget all of the Non-fatal crashes like Patrick Swayze and Harrison Ford.

They key is they have the money to get into private aviation and like JFK Jr. buy a "hot" plane instead of a Cessna 152. Back in the 70's they used to call the Bonanza V-tail the Doctor Killer. Docs could afford to buy them but not be good pilots. Same thing with Celebs. A lot of them get mediocre crews and cheaper aircraft (compared to commercial) like Rick Nelson. An old refurbished DC-3 made of magnesium and a faulty heater. Commercial is so much better regulated it is a pretty easy equation to understand.

Many people die in plane crashes, but the media doesn't care to mention all of them, just the famous stars.

Why should we use our brain power on the answers when you won't use your brain power on your research paper?
