Small plane crashes near Pine Bluffs, pilot OK

Laramie County authorities say a pilot escaped injury after crash landing while practicing touch and go landings at the Pine Bluffs Airport. The county sheriff's department says the Cessna 188 went down about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday in a field, about a mile and half west of the runway. The pilot was identified as Mark Nardin, of Emigrant, Mont. Nardin told authorities the plane lost altitude, forcing him to land in the field. The plane then struck a fence, causing extensive damage to the aircraft operated by Circle S Aviation. Nardin walked away from the wreck. The crash is under investigation by federal authorities.
