The pilot was transported to Banner Churchill Hospital in Fallon. Although the extent of any injuries he may have suffered is not specifically known, the wonderful fact that he was able to walk away from the scene is very positive news.
The crash occurred southeast of KNFL. The aircraft was totally destroyed.

Gary, thanks for the update on the pilot. Appreciate your posting of the photo.

Nice shot Gary and glad to hear he is OK

Sam: It definitely has, just yesterday there was a fatal crash near Van Nuys airport, just 40 miles northwest of my house and also I just found out when I woke up this morning that a 777 crashed in Dubai, luckily everyone was ok in that one, but the plane was destroyed.
