A hard landing at Knik-Goose Bay airport on the night of June 24 flipped a plane onto its back — and everyone aboard walked away without a scratch.

The bigger problem was the plane itself. Troopers logged the 9:03 p.m. call as a "Plane Crash," though by then the occupants had already climbed out and reported no injuries. Righting the overturned aircraft took a helicopter, and crews had to remove the wings before what was left could be trailered off the field.

Troopers didn't say what caused the hard landing. They notified the National Transportation Safety Board, whose investigation is ongoing.
