SPANISH FORK, Utah — A small airplane crashed while attempting to land at the Spanish Fork Municipal Airport Saturday, but the occupants were not seriously injured.
According to Spanish Fork Police, the single-engine plane was landing on the runway when it got caught in crosswinds. It went off the runway and into a ditch, where it flipped over.
The two occupants, both men in their early 20s, were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
The plane had originally taken off from the same airport where it was attempting to land.
Police alerted the Federal Aviation Administration of the crash, but it is not yet known if they will conduct an investigation.

So winds were essentially straight up and down the 12/30 runway, yet the last ADS-B readout shows they were landing on 30???

Wasn't landing, was a "flyby". Was it a photo op?
