ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — All those on board two small planes died in a midair collision Wednesday in western Alaska, state troopers said.
The crash scene covers a large area that is accessible only by helicopter, said Clint Johnson, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board's Alaska division.
The planes involved in the crash are a Hageland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan carrying three people and a Renfro's Alaskan Adventures Piper PA-18 super cub with two people aboard, according to the Guard.
