Hi Candace,
For FR24 I converted the 3:00 pm crash time to UTC and then did a play back starting an hour ahead watching the general area of the south end of the park. Most aviation doesn't fly through that area and when one flew directly to the area I clicked on it and it showed the USN ID from Yuma. I zoomed out to include Yuma and played it again and watched it fly legs directly to the crash area.
Then it dropped down off tracking or they turned off their ADS-B as they were flying east. I am not sure if their is a usable runway in that section of the base but the USN plane didn't appear back on tracking.
I also saw a few articles reference the Nevada state line.
