“As a Citation pilot for 20 years and a product of around 75 days of @FlightSafetyInt training and over 3000 hours of flight time in the aircraft I have deep knowledge of these aircraft and performance,” Martin opened via social media.
“The more I learn about Biffle’s crash the more disturbing it is to me.”
Martin added, Every day I get sicker and sicker about this tragedy.”
