F/A-18C down at KNFL (NAS Fallon, NV)
UPDATE: Navy says pilot killed in crash | NevadaAppeal.com
The article list the number of mishaps at NAS Fallon over the past 4 years. |
Any info on Fallon mishap
Does anyone have info on what happened or who the pilot was? I know they didn't release initially, but not sure if any further info has come out. Please PM if you feel more comfortable that way. Thanks.

I understand the need and desire for information -- I cannot pass anything, but I would say that anything spat out today is based on pure speculation. We owe it to ourselves to wait for the AIB/SIB to be released.
There is absolute bare minimum discussion on BO.net |
The name has been released.

Lloyd, thanks for the website info.
VMFA(AW)-242 out of Japan is the organizer of the website, not sure if he was TAD for training or if that was his previous command. He was a student of mine in at VT-9 in Meridian in 2006...horrible loss for family and our country. |

Last I heard, he was in VMFA-232, but I don't know if he was still assigned to that squadron or if the aircraft belonged to the Red Devils.
