Accidents and incidents
In April 1989, singer-songwriter John Denver was involved in an accident while piloting his 1931 vintage biplane. The plane was taxiing on the airport's runway while attempting to land at Holbrook for refueling on a flight from Carefree, Arizona, to Santa Fe, New Mexico. A wind gust caught the plane, causing it to spin. The plane sustained extensive damage, though Denver was unharmed.[4]
