NTSB Probes Aircraft Accident at Wyoming Airport; No Injuries

Investigation Underway

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating an aircraft accident that occurred May 25, 2026, at North Big Horn County Airport (U68) in Cowley, Wyoming. The incident involved a privately operated American Aviation AA-1A, registration N6440L, according to NTSB Event ID 20260528203068. No fatalities were reported.

Conflicting Records

Preliminary data show discrepancies in aviation databases regarding the aircraft's identification. While NTSB records identify the aircraft as an American Aviation AA-1A, the Aviation Safety Network lists registration N6440L as a Cessna 182T Skylane. Both sources confirm the aircraft was privately operated.

Investigation Continues

Federal investigators have not released a preliminary report detailing the phase of flight or extent of damage. The NTSB typically conducts thorough reviews of maintenance logs and pilot statements before determining probable cause. North Big Horn County Airport continues operating as a primary general aviation facility for the region.
