Holiday Cards Arrive Days After Greg Biffle Family Plane Crash as Probe Continues

Investigators have not determined why the Cessna returned to Statesville or who was flying during the failed emergency landing.

Overview

  • - Friends shared receiving the Biffle family’s Christmas card days after the Dec. 18 crash that killed Greg, his wife Cristina, 14-year-old Emma, and 5-year-old Ryder.
  • - The Cessna Citation 550 turned back roughly 10–15 minutes after takeoff to attempt an emergency landing at Statesville Regional Airport and crashed on approach.
  • - The other victims were identified as pilot Dennis Dutton, his son Jack, and NASCAR motorhome driver Craig Wadsworth.
  • - The NTSB says early indications show the jet was configured for landing but came in low; a preliminary report is expected in weeks, with a final report likely many months away, according to an aviation attorney.
  • - Tributes continued as YouTuber Cleetus McFarland released a memorial video and said the family was flying to visit him in Florida, while fellow driver Mark Martin called details of the crash increasingly disturbing.
