ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Investigators in Alaska have identified the cargo plane that crashed Sunday in Denali National Park.
The National Park Service says it was a Fairchild C-123 registered to All West Freight Inc. of Delta Junction, Alaska.
The agency says there were three people onboard and apparently no survivors.
The plane crashed into the south-facing slope of Mount Healy within a mile of the park headquarters and about 200 yards north of the only road into the park. It went down about 3 p.m. near the eastern edge of the park, about 180 miles north of Anchorage.
The plane burst into flames on impact and started a wildland fire, which was contained at approximately one acre.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators are to arrive Monday.
