The plane is registered to Reinhard Jarschke, of Angwin, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

The Napa County Sheriff’s Office said the pilot was an 82-year-old man.

Kaye Varney, manager of the Angwin Airport, confirmed the plane is registered to Jarschke.

She said the plane was moved to a hangar at the airport that is owned and operated by Pacific Union College in Angwin.

Cambria Wheeler, Pacific Union College’s director of college relations, said the pilot is an Angwin resident who is not currently a student or faculty member. She said the airport reopened at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Wheeler said the Seventh-day Adventist college offers a degree in aviation.
