Small Plane Goes Off Runway At Sheridan Airport

Federal investigators are trying to determine what caused a small twin-engine life flight aircraft to go off a taxiway and into a ravine at Sheridan County Airport. Airport manager John Stopka says the plane owned by Exec Air of Helena, Mont., had dropped a patient off and was preparing to take off when it went off the side of the taxiway and into a ravine at about 5 p.m. Wednesday. The two people aboard were not injured. Stopka said the plane "is in a pretty deep hole, and it will take some effort to get it out of there." The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
