Since I wrote the post, I have read that the name of the plane was not American Pie, (thanks to snopes) and Don McLean did not name the song after Miss America. The other two people in the plane were Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson. And Im sure this is true but Valens switched with Waylen Jennings to go on the plane.
@PlutonianDoll Valens bugged Jennings all night to take his seat because he had never been on a plane.Jennings finally flipped the coin near the end of the night and Valens won the toss.
