Aircraft crashed while returning from a training mission approximately 20 miles SE of Pahrump, Nevada,. The pilot, Scott Gierat, ejected safely and was rescued by a Las Vegas Police helicopter. The pilot detected smoke in the cockpit along with a decreasing oil pressure. When the oil pressure reached 5 PSI, the pilot heard a loud bang accompanied with a grinding noise. Shortly thereafter the pilot noted the engine RPM was at 0. He attempted a JFS airstart which was unsuccessful. At 3000' AGL he succesfully ejected.
