ISC Fliers crash landed near Potatello plane
Idaho State college students Warren Smith and Waldo Anderson escaped injury when their Luscombe light aircraft crash landed on a hilltop two miles southeast of Potatello at 3 p.m. They were attempting to reach the municipal airport after being waved away from the university air field due to muddy landings. The pilot said engine ran fine but altitude proved unattainable, leading to a forced landing. Smith suffered a minor facial cut. Anderson was uninjured. Damage was limited to shattered landing gear and a splintered propeller. Both students are in the aviation mechanics department of the vocational school and intend to repair the craft at the university air-mechanic shop.
