ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Two small planes collided in the air over a remote area of western Alaska, killing all five people aboard the two aircraft, officials 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.
