According to the publication, the aircraft was supposedly not carrying any weapons or other munitions on the training flight, and no other deaths or damages were reported.

The Navy had apparently said that the aircraft was a Navy Hornet, which apparently turned out to be incorrect. It appears that the aircraft was actually a Marine Corps F/A- 18C on loan to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center to be used as a training aircraft.

According to Christian Science Monitor, it took rescue crews several hours to reach the site of the crash on the training complex that was east of Naval Air Station Fallon. This was apparently due to a snow storm as well as remote terrain.

U.S. Pacific Fleet had reportedly said that the pilot's status had been determined on Sunday, according to Naval Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Reagan Lauritzen.
