]]> A twin-engine Piper Navajo aircraft, carrying the girls volleyball team from Koliganek, Alaska, had to make a rough landing at King Salmon airport, Alaska, on December 10.

The plane, transporting the volleyball team for state tournament in Anchorage, had to land in emergency after its landing gear got damaged during take-off from Koliganek.

The aircrafts’ landing gear buckled after it touched the runway and skidded some 1,000 feet before coming to stop.

All the passengers and crew members remained unharmed.

Team’s Assistant coach Anastasia Ishnook said, “Our girls are really strong…They kept it together…The pilot was really nice…He said he was sorry it happened today but he couldn’t have had better passengers.”
