in reference to the deer and animal stories, besides john denvers plane maybe
running out of gas, it is also belived that his plane sucked in a pelican.


united airlines around here, the monterey peninsula, calif., suck pelicans
frequently


i was near the crash site shortly after the crash, and a pelican washed ashore. i
brought it home, and clipped the wings. the next day, racoons has taken one of the
wings. the other i use for fanning sage before a sweat lodge


the rest of the pelican (rest of the story) i cremated in a wood buring kiln,
collected the bone ash and glazed a pot


i call this "the john denver pelican glaze"


yes, this is soooo.

Unlikely. His plane was a Long-EZ, with a pusher prop on the back.
Things that get close enough to hit the prop tend to get bounced out of
the way.
