Aviators say any plane landing you can walk away from is a good landing. In that case, six people had a very good landing when the small plane they were flying in crashed in Wonder Valley Saturday afternoon. A 1978 Cessna registered to a business in Salt Lake City, Utah, experienced engine problems about noon and crashed about a quarter mile west of the Twentynine Palms airport. Photos of the plane show it resting upside down in the desert. The pilot and five passengers were out of the plane and walking around when first responders arrived. The crash is under investigation.
