Martin was an experienced pilot. He left work on his lunch break for another short flight— he often took those to relax and clear his head. This time, Martin never returned.
His family said his flight was intended to be a simple loop around Mount Charleston, but tracking data shows his plane's transponder stopped transmitting at 10,000 feet near Jefferson Peak, just north of Tonopah.
