Posted: 4:44 PM-No major injuries were reported from two planes crashes that happened within hours of each other Thursday in southern Utah's San Juan County.

The first crash occurred around 10:30 a.m. when a Cessna flying from California overturned while trying to land at the Blanding Airport, according to a news release from the San Juan County Sheriff's Office. A pilot and one passenger in the plane weren't injured.

In the second incident, a Civil Air Patrol plane flying near Zahn Bay at the San Juan River arm of Lake Powell spotted a downed aircraft with two passengers standing outside the crash site, the sheriff's office release states.

The pilot of a single engine 2008 Husky aircraft apparently tried to land at a closed, backcountry airstrip in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, said Kevin Schneider, a management assistant at Glen Canyon. The plane veered off the runway and flipped, Schneider said.

The pilot suffered minor injuries in the accident and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction, Colo. The other passenger in the plane was uninjured, Schneider said.

The National Park Service, Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety Board and the San Juan County Sheriff's Office are investigating the incidents, he said.

Maybe they were looking for motorcitymaule?

Glad to see that Maule and Husky are still racing each other for the highest insurance rates

Well, the other one was a 180. (Why did Cessna pick that number? )
