Reno police spokesman Tim Broadway says neither of the two people on board was hurt.
FAA records indicate the plane is registered to Extreme Source Inc., a Truckee, California-based company that has provided skydiving flights in the past.
The plane was built in 1958 and last was certified by the FAA in July 2015.
