Why was the flying scene cut from the Rocky Mountain Holiday release?
August 7th, 2007
When John Denver unexpectedly died on October 12, 1997 due to a flying accident, this tragedy sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry. Out of respect for his family and friends, the following flying scene was edited out of the 2003 DVD and VHS release of this special. John and Rowlf are flying above the Colorado Rockies in a plane. John is performing one stunt after another in order to cure Rowlf’s hiccups. Since John loved to fly, there is some debate whether or not this scene should have been cut.

All the John Denver fans that I know are very upset about the cutting of that scene. A ridiculous example of over-sensitivity. Are the powers-that-be saying that John’s family asked for it to be cut? That seems unlikely…
