Plane flips after hard landing at Knik Goose Bay airport; NTSB notified

A plane flipped after a hard landing at Knik Goose Bay airport on the night of June 24, leaving all occupants uninjured but requiring a helicopter to right the aircraft and a wing disassembly before it could be trailered from the field.

Alaska State Troopers received the report at 9:03 p.m. The dispatch logged the event as a "Plane Crash" at KGB Airport. All occupants exited the aircraft and reported no injuries. Troopers coordinated for a helicopter to respond and notified the National Transportation Safety Board.

Workers disassembled the wings before the plane could be trailered from the scene. Troopers did not disclose the cause of the hard landing.

The NTSB investigation is ongoing.
