74-year-old pilot uninjured after plane flips in Palisades Reservoir

A 74-year-old pilot walked away with only minor injuries Tuesday afternoon after his aircraft clipped the ground and flipped into the snowy lake bed of the Palisades Reservoir.

At approximately 2:30 PM, the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office received a call reporting a small, single-engine plane overturned in the reservoir lake bed, roughly a quarter-mile from the Alpine Airport.
