SAN DIEGO -- An executive jet collided with a glider near Reno, Nev., on Monday afternoon and had to make an emergency landing in Carson City without the use of its landing gear, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The pilot of the Hawker XP800 jet suffered minor injuries while the co-pilot and three passengers were unharmed, said FAA spokesman Ian Gregor. The glider pilot also suffered only minor injuries after parachuting to safety.
"Pieces of the glider were embedded in the nose of the Hawker," Gregor said.
The jet was headed from Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, Calif., to Reno. As the plane was making its approach, it collided with the glider at about 16,000 feet, he said.
The jet made an emergency landing at an airport in Carson City at 3:18 p.m., he said.
The glider pilot, 58-year-old Hirao Akihiro, had flown out of Minden, Nev., about 50 miles south of Reno, said Lyon County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Page. He was found with just cuts and bruises around 6:30 p.m. by Washoe tribal police at the mouth of Lone Pine Canyon after he hiked three miles from where he landed, Gregor said.
The jet, made by Raytheon Co. in 1998, is capable of transporting up to eight passengers at speeds of up to 500 mph, he said.
