A plane came down near the Gnoss Field Airport in Novato on Saturday afternoon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane crashed into a hangar at the Marin County airport around 3:50 p.m. A fire sparked, and plumes of smoke from the crash were visible for miles. The pilot of the plane was the only person on board, and the FAA is investigating along with the National Transportation and Safety Board. The NTSB has confirmed that the pilot has died in the crash.
The pilot's identity, as well as what may have caused the crash, has not been released by authorities. The FAA says the type of the plane is not known at this time, but authorities confirmed it was a single-engine plane. A witness of the crash shared their photos with KTVU. "OK so for some context, I actually saw that aircraft hit the hanger after a bad takeoff due to winds. I ran to it and was the first person there. But there was already too much fire to get near it.
