Interesting was another performer involve in the crash, Waylon Jennings. After a show in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly decided to charter a small plane for his band (consisting of himself, Tommy Allsup (guitar) and Jennings.Ritchie Valens and Tommy Allsup flipped a coin for the last seat, Valens won and took Allsup’s seat. Since the Big Bopper was sick, he asked Jennings if he could take his seat on the plane. Jennings said that as long as Holly was okay with it, he was too. When Holly found out Jennings was not going to be on the plane, he jokingly told him, “I hope your ol’ bus freezes up!” Jennings responded back, “I hope your plane crashes!” Those words would haunt Jennings for decades.

It was a delayed reaction.

I’d previously heard a “coin flip” story from Waylon Jennings.
Seems more likely that the top billed singers would get the plane (done travelling sooner) and the backing bands would get to ride in the coach.
