The Cessna 441 plane went down at a remote radar site in western Alaska on Aug. 20, officials said.

The plane took off from Anchorage and is believed to have crashed early Thursday afternoon on approach to Cape Newenham, an NTSB official said.

The U.S. military said the deaths of eight people on board the civilian-chartered aircraft were a "devastating loss."

Federal investigators have pulled intact data cards from a state police helicopter and Cessna aircraft that collided near a runway in central Pennsylvania.

The civilian-contracted plane crashed at a remote radar site some 450 miles from Anchorage.

Investigators say eight people died when a small plane crashed on its second attempt to land in heavy fog at a remote military airport in Alaska.

The Cessna aircraft was flying to Cape Newenham from Anchorage when it crashed near a U.S. military site, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

A federal investigator said Friday after more thorough review of video and other available data, it now appears the Pennsylvania State Police helicopter involved in a fatal mid-air collision Wednesday evening was slightly farther away from the runway air space at Carlisle Airport than he initially stated.
