POINT MACKENZIE, Alaska - One person was hospitalized after a small plane crash-landed near Goose Bay Airport Monday afternoon., a 1978 Taylorcraft F-19 aircraft “overturned” in the mudflats just east of the airport, located across Knik Arm from Eagle River.

The 33-year-old pilot was able to make it to a landing near the airport with the help of good Samaritans, troopers said, and did not need medical help.
The flight instructor was taken to a Matanuska-Susitna area hospital with “minor injuries.” The National Transportation Safety Board was notified of the crash.This is a developing story. Check back for further updates.
