It wasn’t clear if weather played a role in the crash, which happened amid a winter storm. Authorities have said the plane was headed from Reno to Salt Lake City. Federal Aviation Administration records show the plane was registered to Guardian Flight, based in South Jordan, Utah. Care Flight is a service of REMSA Health in Reno and Guardian Flight.
A graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Scott Walton picked up flying as a hobby while working in marketing before deciding in his 30s to pursue his passion for aviation as a full-time career. Michael Walton said his brother was excited by the opportunity to pilot medical flights after many years of training.
“He was the absolute best husband and father to his three girls,” Michael Walton said, “and they were just the absolute light of his life.”Article content
