Buddy Holly chartered a plane to take him and his band (Tommy Allsup, Carl Bunch and Waylon Jennings) to Fargo, North Dakota.
Carl Bunch did not take the flight as he was hospitalized for frostbite three days earlier.
J.P. Richardson, "The Big Bopper" came down with the flu and didn't feel comfortable on the bus, so Jennings gave his plane seat to him.
Ritchie Valens had never flown on a small plane and requested Allsup's seat. They flipped a coin, Valens called heads and won the toss.
The four-passenger Beechcraft Bonanza took off into a snow storm and crashed into a corn field several miles after takeoff at 1:05 A.M. The crash killed Holly, Valens, Richardson, and the 21-year-old pilot

The most famous person who gave up his seat on the flight was Waylon Jennings.
