HE SPENT HIS LIFE SINGING ABOUT THE SKY — AND ON A CLEAR OCTOBER AFTERNOON, THE SKY IS WHERE HE WENT. He was the man who made an entire generation homesick for a place they had never been. “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” “Rocky Mountain High.” “Annie’s Song.” A voice so bright and unguarded that critics sometimes mistook the warmth for simplicity — and millions of listeners knew better. Flying was never a side interest for him. He held a pilot’s license, he collected aircraft, he came from a family of Air Force flyers. The open air was not a metaphor in his songs. It was where he actually lived. On October 12, 1997, he took an experimental Long-EZ aircraft up over Monterey Bay, California. It was a plane he had recently acquired and was still learning. He was 53 years old. The aircraft went down into the water. He was killed on impact. The cruelty was in the details that came out afterward. Investigators found the fuel selector valve had been placed in a position nearly impossible to reach from the pilot’s seat — he would have had to turn and twist his body to switch tanks. The NTSB concluded he likely ran a tank dry and lost control while reaching behind him for that handle. A design flaw. Inches of reach. That was the margin. The contrast was almost unbearable. The man who had written the most joyful songs ever recorded about mountains and open air, who had sung for presidents and testified before Congress about the environment, died in seconds in the element he loved most. But what he left behind was never confined to those final moments. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is now sung in stadiums in countries he never toured, by people who have never seen West Virginia. His environmental work outlived him by decades. The story of what he built — and what it cost him to live that fully — is still being told.
