Greg Biffle is back in the news and none of it is good
The estate of the pilot and co-pilot have filed a $15 million suit against the Biffle estate.
It’s been nearly five months since Greg Biffle died in a plane crash, yet his name continues to pop up in headlines. It’s happened twice this week, and neither is good, for opposing reasons: In one, he appears to be a victim. In the other, a defendant.
The current story involves a lawsuit filed by the estate of the plane’s pilot (Dennis Dutton) and co-pilot (his son, Jack Dutton). The Biffle estate is being sued for $15 million for what the plaintiffs say was a lack of proper maintenance and upkeep on the plane, which they say led to the Dec. 18 crash that killed all seven people on board — Biffle’s wife Cristina, two Biffle children and family friend Craig Wadsworth were the others.
An NTSB investigation is ongoing, but preliminary reports said the Cessna C550’s altimeter wasn’t working properly at the time of the crash, which occurred just short of Statesville (N. C. ) Regional Airport as the jet attempted to return and land.
