I don't know for sure, but unlikely, given what I know of the owners and
the circumstances.

Any thoughts about a Reno Class Bravo?

Yes. It would pretty much eliminate cross-country soaring out of Air
Sailing and Truckee, and seriously impair soaring out of Minden. If the
accident took place within 30 miles of Reno, I expect this option will
get some discussion...
