Beech Aircraft Named in Multi‑Suit Over 1975 France Crash
Civil suits totaling 4.25 million are to be filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita against Beech Aircraft Corp and two partners over the Nantes France crash that killed at least eight. The actions raise total damages to 15 million with claims of design and manufacturing negligence. Lawyers say suits include widows of pilot Andre Bechetoille and co pilot Dider Chappat, and continue from prior filings against United Technologies and Pratt and Whitney. Beech headquarters in Wichita prompted filing location.
