OROFINO, Idaho — A small airplane has crashed in the Clearwater National Forest near the Idaho-Montana border. The Clearwater County sheriff’s office says the wreckage was located Monday by a rescue helicopter from Flathead County in Montana.

Crews with Two Bear Air Helicopter spotted the wreckage near the Blacklead Mountain area. There was no immediate word on the pilot. The Federal Aviation Administration says the airplane was a single-engine, homebuilt Lancair Legacy that was flying from Richland, Washington, to Baker, Montana.
