A small plane suffered substantial damage, but neither the pilot nor his passenger were injured after they crashed in rural Powell on Friday morning.

The fixed-wing, single-engine Kitfox took off from a residence on Road 6, but “lost power once airborne,” the Park County Sheriff’s Office said.

The pilot was able to make an emergency landing on a piece of private property on Hacienda Road, which lies north of Lane 9 and about 2 miles due east of the City of Powell. The crash occurred shortly before 11 a.m.

While the occupants were OK, “the plane and the freshly planted garden it came to a rest in were not quite as lucky,” wrote Monte McClain, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff’s deputies completed an initial investigation before turning it over to the Federal Aviation Administration, which handles incidents involving aircraft. Emergency medical services from Powell Valley Healthcare, volunteers with the Powell fire department and the Wyoming Highway Patrol also assisted with the call.

The owner of the plane made arrangements to remove the aircraft, as it only weighed 500 pounds, McClain said. FAA records show the plane, which was built in 1990, is registered to an Alaska man.
