RIP: Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray
There was another member of the band on that plane that survived. Artimus Pyle now lives here in Asheville, NC and has a couple bands. I play in church with one of the guys that plays guitar for him. I also see him out in some of the local bars on a regular basis. If you ever are in this area, look to see if he is playing somewhere and take the time to see him.
jaya... Artimus was not the only survivor of the crash.... These band members did too: Allen Collins, Leslie Hawkins, Billy Powell, Gary Rossington, and Leon Wilkeson
