The plane was bound for Fargo, North Dakota The plane had skidded or rolled about 570 feet before coming to a stop against a barbed wire fence. Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on this plane but gave his seat up to Richardson due to Richardson having a fever and not needing to ride on the bus with no heater.
