Sheriff Darrin Balaam asks the community to join him in thanking the Search and Rescue volunteers, deputies, and RAVEN crew who braved treacherous weather and terrain in order to locate the wreckage of a small plane in the rugged, mountainous area just north of Virginia Peak on September 19th.
“These types of incidents are difficult enough because of the tragedy involved which is why I feel it’s so important to show our appreciation for the men and women who willingly brave the elements in order to bring closure for those involved,” Sheriff Balaam said.
RAVEN, deputies, and volunteers from the Specialized Vehicle Unit and Washoe County Sheriff's - Hasty Team continue to assist with the National Transportation Safety Board and Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office investigations of the crash site.

RENO, Nevada (KOLO) - UPDATE 9/20/2019: The FAA preliminary report revealed that the September 19th, 2019 crash near Pah Rah peak killed the pilot and a passenger.
The Washoe County Coroner's Office says it may be weeks before a positive identification is made.
The plane, a Cessna 182H was reported to be flying to Idaho. According to an FAA website, the plane was registered in Nampa, Idaho, which is just outside of Boise.
ORIGINAL STORY: The Washoe County Sheriff's Office says there are no known survivors after wreckage was found in the search for a missing Cessna.
The Cessna 182 was reported missing around 12:20 PM Thursday, September 19, 2019.
The flight was en route from Reno to Idaho.
The sheriff's office says the search area was difficult to reach and back country volunteers with the Hasty team were dropped off via RAVEN in the area of the Pah Rah Mountain Range south of Pyramid Lake. Within two hours, the volunteers found pieces of wreckage about a mile and a half north of Virginia Peak along the ridge line.
Officials have not released any information about the people on board.
The National Transportation Safety Board will take over the investigation.
