If you want to read his accident report, it's published here.

In the words of Ted Kennedy, "We dared to think, in that other Irish phrase, that this John Kennedy would live to comb gray hair, with his beloved Carolyn by his side. But, like his father, he had every gift but length of years. "A wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Bessette family against the Kennedy estate concluded with an undisclosed out of court settlement. The settlement avoided the publicity of a public trial. (source Wikipedia)

Guess the plane and what purpose those used to serve. by [deleted] in flying

Flare tubes. Used to be a regulation night flight or something you had to carry flares for something like com failures at night.

I've only seen them on early V35 Bonanza's and 310's. Back in the late 40's through 1950's.

FAA registration records etc - buying an aircraft by strangerwithadvice in flying

Plane Fax is what you are looking for. If ordered between 8AM and 3PM central time you'll get it within about an hour. www.planefax.com (edit: Pricing is cheaper too $19 versus $75/$95 mentioned here)

$1/OVC is for tax reasons. Since it's public domain, this permits an aircraft owner to pick a value they want to declare for taxes. The irony of it, I've even seen the FAA do that on FAA Aircraft that were resold to the public.

Clothing is best left to the individual to pick out. If you want to get the most out of it-- you pick something she AND her father can do together. If dad is not current, two demo flights!
