On August 20, 2026, Civil Aviation Resource Network reported that a Pennsylvania police helicopter collided with a small plane in mid-air near an airport in central Pennsylvania on Wednesday evening (August 19).
Open-source flight tracking information shows that a Bell 407 police helicopter was approaching Carlisle Airport in Pennsylvania from the east when it collided with a Cessna 150 aircraft circling above the airport.
Following the incident, the airport runway and airspace were closed.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that there were two police officers on board the helicopter, but the number of people on the small plane is unclear. The current condition of all those involved has not yet been released.
Carlisle Airport, located about 20 miles west of Harrisburg, has a 4,000-foot runway. The airport lacks a control tower, so pilots communicate their flight intentions via public radio frequencies.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the FAA will investigate the incident.
