A Salute to the Fallen Pilots
- John Denver
- John F. Kennedy
When we think of these courageous heros, our hearts bleed. Let us never forget these men. John Denver, the dreamer, the creater of sunshine on your shoulder....He lived a life exploding with creativity. And then there's another John. Our beloved prince, JFK. According to Aviation Safety, September 1999 edition, Piper PA-32-R301 Saratoga II, N9253N, crashed into the water approximately 7 1/2 miles southwest of Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard on July 16, 1999 at 9:41 EDT. Every time you fly by JFK Airport along the South Shore of Long Island, think of him. He wasn't quite his father, but he was certainly his own man.
