Got the same, wasn't told to start my engines, checked the messages to make sure I hadn't mis-heard it. Hit space got taxi, was expecting start up clearance and the Biff taxied out on his own. Spun up the engines and by the time I got out to the runway I saw a burning wreck about 2 miles north of the field. Got airborne and then released the burning wreck was my wingman. RIP Biff.
