Eric Holt a pilot from Heber City and his family, including 2-year-old twins and a 2-week-old infant, are safe and unharmed after their small plane ran out of fuel and landed in a snow-covered field in a remote area of southwest Wyoming.
The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office says the Holts were rescued about 8:45 p.m. Monday by helicopter about three hours after the single-engine plane made an emergency landing while flying from Wayne, Nebraska, to Heber, Utah. Holt planned to refuel at the Rock Springs airport but a strong headwind caused the plane to use more fuel than expected, forcing it to land undamaged about 3 miles from the airport.
