Didn’t Ricky Nelson buy the farm in a C-47?

American pop singer Ricky Nelson died during the attempted
crash-landing of his band’s aircraft on December 31, 1985.
The plane, a Douglas DC-3, was brought down mid-flight
outside De Kalb, Texas, by a fire that rapidly spread from
a suspected faulty in-cabin heater.

No. Ricky owned a DC-3. I was driving on I-30, Little Rock to Dallas area, when his plane went down just East of where we were in TX. They were flying from LR to Dallas to do a gig that night, but they chose to free-base in the plane during a huge ice storm. I think that was New Years Day.
