WASHINGTON (AP) --- Retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle was not flying his own
jet when it crashed last month, killing him and six others, according to a
Friday report from federal safety officials who also concluded that no one on
board was qualified to serve as copilot of the aircraft.
The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board said that
Biffle and the retired airline pilot at the controls, Dennis Dutton, and his
son Jack all noticed problems with gauges malfunctioning on the Cessna C550
before it crashed while trying to return to the Statesville Regional Airport in
North Carolina.
Biffle's wife, Cristina, and children Ryder, 5, and Emma, 14, were killed in
the crash along with his friend, Craig Wadsworth.
