    "A federal safety panel attributed the accident to pilot error but never concluded whether it was Lidle or Stanger who allegedly misjudged a turn during their sightseeing trip."



    So how the hell can you sue his estate if he may not be liable for the crash? Its impossible to know.



    "rejected $50 million in other claims."
