At the Denver Jet Center, Centennial Airport there is a bust of John in the lobby. Every time I'm there I say hello and ask him how he is and I hear him say all is well.
This was a F-15B 75-0086 in 1979 at Langley AFB with the 27th TFS. The name on the nose was "Rocky Mountain High" I got my ride in the same jet in Nov 1980. This F-15B is in the bone yard at Davis Monthan AFB AZ.
good to see him have a good day of flying sad abount him crashing in his aircraft like that this world needs more men like john denver and this world will be a better place RIP JOHN DENVER
John, in pure joy and honest exhilaration of that first flight... almost felt like we took the flight with him. Fun to see the 4MIN 20 SEC mark: JD *baptized* after his flight. Thanks for sharing this!
JoHN IS THE GREATEST SINGER AND AMERICA IS THE GREATEST NATION ON THIS EARTH AND NO ONE CAN AND NOTHING CAN EVER BE LIKE THEM. I DO BELIEVE. LOVE YOU EXILLION ZILLION TIMES JOHN. AND A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
That was a f15B model not a D model john denver was dead by the time the D model came out. My dad was there 27th Tac Fighter Squadron part of the ground crew
@@phil2112 because the ground crew never got to fly in the aircraft that they worked on, all the requests to be able to get a ride were denied but here comes some singer and he gets approved but not the people who if required to do so die on the aircraft to protect it couldnt. Its one if those situations
@@sniperkillercpt I suppose because his dad was a B-58 pilot helped. Here in Aus, most of tbe people I know who were in the AF got a ride in a fast jet when leaving the service or for a morale booster, especially if they worked on the type. (Hawk/Hornet, but F-111 on a couple of rare occassions). I know fmr Sth African ground crew who got spontaneous rides in Mirages. Were the pilots and officers just horrible, unsharing pricks in USAF?
@@phil2112 Mainly Depends on the command some commands are super strict and some are laid back and given the era it was a strict ish time in the airforce
Yeah I just wonder why he didn’t look into the placement of the tank or study how to switch tanks before he got comfortable. A witness said she heard a pop and the plane went straight down without spiralling. So what actually went wrong with his plane?

Damn shame it’s in the bone yard
*sad ending for such a great aircraft*

You're joking?
This is a US Air Force F-15D and not a US Navy F/A-18. Thanks for posting such a great adventure for a music legend and pilot as John Denver.

You have no idea how much you are loved.
"I'm leaving on a jet plane" RIP John!!!!!
JoHN IS THE GREATEST SINGER AND AMERICA IS THE GREATEST NATION ON THIS EARTH AND NO ONE CAN AND NOTHING CAN EVER BE LIKE THEM.
I DO BELIEVE.
LOVE YOU EXILLION ZILLION TIMES JOHN.
AND A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Denver's father, was a world supersonic speed record setting pilot in the B-58 Hustler.
This is a great and I love this so much 😀✈
I love you Rip😓😓
Something tells me that Kermit Weeks and John Denver would have been very good friends if they had ever met.
"FARR~OUT!!!"
I have lesdixia and I thought it was John Denver flying a P-51 D. Oh, well, this will be too good.
I love JD question y are his glasses dark inside they should change outside not inside just saying
That's an F-15B not an F-15D.
That was a f15B model not a D model john denver was dead by the time the D model came out. My dad was there 27th Tac Fighter Squadron part of the ground crew
They put rocky mountain high on that aircraft for one flight and took it off. Alot of the ground crew and pilots had negative opinions of John Denver.
@@sniperkillercpt Why?

i see denver brought a really big bag of pot whoooooo !!!!! whoooooooo !!!!
I think He got shot down years later.
John crashed his own plane.
I believe he is alive. Faked his death.
Check your fuel tank.
Yeah I just wonder why he didn’t look into the placement of the tank or study how to switch tanks before he got comfortable. A witness said she heard a pop and the plane went straight down without spiralling. So what actually went wrong with his plane?
