I was a little surprised not to see that no one posted Greg Biffle's plane crash that cost the lives of seven people, including his family. Greg drove for the Roush Racing Team. He also did a lot of humanitarian work during the North Carolina hurricane that reeked damage and many people needed help.

It was his plane, but we don't know who was flying it or why it was circling back to the airport after taking off. It's way too early yo even venture a guess, but that never stopped me before from doing so, however, this time I am keeping it to myself.

I am OK with getting the Ford off the track, but not like this. No more #16.

Here are the details.

Biffle Plane Crash
 

It’s been on my local news for a few days, including this morning.

I thought about posting about it, but truthfully, I am just wore out reading about other people’s tragedies and I didn’t want to post it.

I’ve got to where I don’t even follow up on whatever is posted on this forum because it just bothers me too much. I am not being disrespectful. To the contrary, I feel I am being more respectful by not continuing to read.

acknowledging the tragic events once is sufficient for me.😇😇
 
I've been following this story a bit. It sounds like there was some kind of mechanical malfunction that caused them to return to the runway and then possibly pilot error when trying to land.

At this point, they haven't made public who was flying the plane. There were three pilots onboard, but only one who was qualified and licensed to fly the jet. According to regulations, there should have also been a qualified co-pilot unless the pilot had a written exemption to be the sole pilot.

The runway doesn't have any air traffic control, so there was no communication to the ground when they experienced the emergency. There was also a light rain at the time, so poor visibility could have added to the confusion.
 

**Strictly Rumor**

Actually, I was in the barber shop the other day and some of the guys were talking about the
crash... they seemed to know him fairly well. They were very clear that the plane was in bad shape
(a regular P.O.S.), and both friends and family had been telling him that he needs a new one...
