Ok, why is there a Navy base in desert Nevada?
From the Reno Gazette Journal:
The Navy says a fighter jet has crashed during a training exercise in western Nevada, and the pilot’s condition was not immediately known.
The single-seat F/A-18C Hornet crashed about 3 p.m. Saturday on a Navy range training complex about 70 miles east of Naval Air Station Fallon.
The pilot’s condition was not known Saturday evening.
Lt. Reagan Lauritzen of Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, said helicopters and ground crews were having difficulty reaching the crash site because of the mountainous terrain and remote location.
The cause of the crash was under investigation. http://www.rgj.com/viewart/20140301/NEWS/303010050/Update-Pilot-status-still-unknown-crash-Naval-Air-Station-Fallon-F-1AC-Hornet
Hopefully, the pilot is ok, but it seems that when there is silence from the military, the pilot usually doesn't survive.
