I was there. lol You went strolling right through Biffle's semi truck trailer! GB didn't have any other cars to go duning with. So we invited him go duning with us. That was a fun run! We all went on a haul ass dune run. Matt did the leading. I was right behind GB. Red car with a NASCAR motor and an Albins with a no lift shift. It was Feb 2012. Matt sent me a pic he took with him. Sad to hear as a fellow pilot. RIP to all who perished.

"A backpack and $30,000 in cash were reported missing from the home, according to authorities. Firearms and memorabilia were also reported stolen during the burglary, sheriff's spokesperson Dara St. John said."

like the article says above^^^ sounds fishy to me, there just happen to be $30k in cash in a backpack lying around and no relative thought they should secure it? take it away, or was it ever there. who exactly reported it stolen.........................?
 
agreed must be an inside job, can't believe there was no security camera action
 
should have posted the whole story

The Dutton family alleges that Biffle, who owned the aircraft, was responsible for ensuring the plane was properly maintained, according to the filings. The lawsuits claim that inadequate maintenance and upkeep contributed to the crash.
  • Dennis Dutton was flying the aircraft when the Cessna 500 Citation II crashed on Dec. 18 shortly after takeoff from Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina. A preliminary report earlier this year revealed that the plane's altimeter was giving incorrect readings and that Dennis Dutton had turned control over to his son shortly before the crash.

The plane erupted into a large fire when it hit the ground about a third of a mile from the airport's runway.

The National Transportation Safety Board made clear that Jack Dutton was sitting in the copilot seat. Neither Jack Dutton nor Biffle had the right endorsement on their pilot's licenses to serve as a copilot on that plane. Aviation safety consultant Jeff Guzzetti, who used to investigate crashes for both the NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration, said he believes the lack of an experienced copilot may have been a key factor in the crash.

The NTSSB is still investigating the crash and has not yet released its final report
 
Pilot F'd up....could have flown straight into a major airport to land, but didn't want the eyes looking at his unqualified son in the copilot seat.....Bad decisions, based on stupid fucking people....I want a pilot that doesn't cut corners. Sad, it's always the stupid shit that gets good people killed.
 
Seems some people were part of the mistakes made, same family now suing?

Yeah, that's about how this eff'd up world operates.
