A supersonic combat jet crashed Saturday afternoon on a training complex in rural Nevada, the Navy said. The F/A-18C Hornet transpired about 70 miles east of Naval Air Station Fallon in western Nevada, an hour's drive east of Reno.
The aircraft was conducting a training flight. Navy personnel were en route to the scene Saturday night and had not yet “confirmed the status of the aircraft crew member,” according to a news release. The plane was assigned to the air station's Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center.
