RIP

Tragic that it was not only him and his wife - but his kids as well along with the pilot.

Statesville not a big airport by any means - been down there a few times. But it’s how these guys live and many fly in and out of small airfields like that all the time.

Racing is absolutely a huge part of the community down in that area. It’s not just the drivers - but all of the employees at the various shops.

The estate of the other family on board, the Duttons, is suing the Biffle estate for wrongful deaths. Says it was Biffle’s responsibility to do maintenance on the plane.

It was the other adult male, Dennis Dutton, flying as well as his son Jack Dutton as the co-pilot. The son didn’t have the credentials to be a co-pilot on that plane. NTSB said a more experienced co-pilot might have prevented the crash.

The two lawsuits are for $15 million each.

Its sad that is comes to lawsuits.
Families were probably friends for years and years.
