(William Leek / November 20, 2012)

ANCHORAGE, Alaska— The tundra wind destroyed a damaged plane Friday night near Toksook Bay, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

Clint Johnson, chief of the NTSB's regional office in Anchorage, said that a Grant Aviation charter from Bethel to Toksook Bay went off the end of the right-hand side of the runway at Toksook Bay around 8 p.m. November 16 and damaged the nose gear. 

 The plane was a  essna 207 with four people on board -- the pilot and three passengers. No one was injured.

 Johnson said later that night, the wind came up and blew the plane onto the tundra, destroying it.
