The cub in the adn.com photo looks trashed. No right wing and fuselage gone behind the baggage. It was windy (20+) and turbulent today at that time, I was coming back into Anchorage around time of event.

Thoughts and prayers to the pilots and families. Injuries, both short and long term and the mind are all things they will be dealing with.

anyone have info on this other crash last night in Palmer??

9:03 p.m.: EMS crews are responding to a Palmer golf course where a plane has crash landed, no injuries are reported but energized power lines are across the airframe.

from MEA-

Good news: We've received word that the pilot in this crash is ok. He is being checked out by EMTs on site. Bad News: As for the outage - the top of the pole was broken off in this accident. Replacing a pole can take some significant time. We are asking members involved in this outage to be prepared for the outage to last at least a few more hours. Additional crews are being dispatched to assist and hopefully make repairs as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your patience.

I see that the news is already saying it was not the fault of the trooper... hope all come out ok, and that the truth comes out.
