Boulder City Review
A 46-year-old man died after his airplane crashed in the desert southeast of the Boulder City Airport.
According to Brok Armantrout, the pilot, who was traveling from Phoenix to Henderson, reported his Beechcraft BE35 Bonanza ran out of gas over Lake Mead and clipped a powerline before hitting the ground.
According to Armantrout, the pilot appeared to have died on impact.
“It was very obvious he was dead when we showed up,” Armantrout said.
Armantrout said this was the first deadly plane crash he has seen in his six years working in Boulder City.

Love ya Bro.
I saw Brett right after he sold Peppers at a Sushi store on Bell. He told me lets get together man just because I don’t own Peppers anymore doesn’t mean we cant hang out, I never called him…. I was to busy.
Tonight I go to a car show at Chilly Bombers and find out that Brett was killed. Oh my gosh I feel so bad. He was a great guy and friendly as you could ask a guy to be. Since I didn’t believe it was true I called his cell phone number and see that Wendy is the voice mail for AAA ATM. So I searched the net to try to find out the story. I found this place, Im glad I did since I didn’t even know anything about this I missed him memorial that my wife and I surely would have attended. You will be missed Brett and I’m sorry I didn’t call!!!! For the people that read this and loved him Im so sorry for your loss. I truly felt Brett’s kindness. Even when he was sick with that Celiacs Disease he kept a great attitude. Thanks Brett for being a friend you will be missed.
