I was fortunate when I was in Iowa on business last year to have some free time in Clear Lake, IA. I got to see the Surf Ballroom where the trios last concert was performed, the airport that the plane left in nearby Mason City, IA and a customer went with me to the field where the plane crashed. The plane crashed in the middle of family farm about 10 miles north of Clear Lake and I guess the family didn't notice anything until the next morning and all were dead at the scene. There is a tribute at the exact crash site but we weren't able to access the field as it was harvest season and the family aren't big on trespassers.
