RENO, Nev. — The investigation continues into what caused a Salt Lake City-bound medical flight to crash in Nevada Friday night. Crews remain outside of Reno looking for pieces of the Pilatus PC-12 that broke apart thousands of feet up in the air.The brothers of the pilot, Scott Walton, said the grief and disbelief come in waves.
“The highest the flight obtained was just over 19,000 feet when radar noticed the aircraft was in a descending right turn,” said NTSB vice chairman Bruce Landsberg in a press conference Sunday. Scott was the father of three girls. He was born in Minnesota and grew up in small-town Ohio. His family lives in the Midwest, and he would commute to his work as a medical flight pilot.“He was absolutely up for anything and really personified living in the moment,” said Michael.
Scott's sister-in-law created a GoFundMe campaign to support his widow and their three daughters. There are also GoFundMe pages for the other four victims.
