Francis Gary Powers
(August 17, 1929 – August 1, 1977)

On August 1, 1977, Powers had been covering bush fires in Santa
Barbara County
in the KNBC helicopter (above) and was heading
back from flying over them. As he returned, the Bell 206 Jet Ranger
helicopter ran out of fuel and crashed in nearby Encino, several
miles short of its intended landing site at Burbank Airport, killing
Powers instantly. The National Transportation Safety Board report
attributed the probable cause of the crash to pilot error, poor
fuel management.

DALLAS (AP) -  A lock of hair snipped from the head of John Lennon as the
Beatle prepared for a film role is expected to sell for $10,000 at a Dallas
auction scheduled for Feb. 20.

Heritage Auctions said in a news release Monday that the 4-inch lock was
collected by a German hairdresser who trimmed Lennon’s hair in 1966.

Heritage says auction will include other rare items linked to The Beatles, such
as a signed photograph of all four members.

Memorabilia from other artists such as Elvis Presley and Led Zeppelin also will
be auctioned.
