Update July 11 at 5 p.m.:- On July 11, Greg Boom, owner of Rocky Mountain Flight School, confirmed that the pilot who was flying the plane will no longer be allowed to fly with the school. Boom said this was the pilot’s ninth flight in the Cessna 152. The pilot’s identity has not been released pending an investigation with the Federal Aviation Administration.

On Thursday, July 4, visitors hiking to Devil’s Thumb saw a plane that appeared to narrowly miss crashing into the side of the Continental Divide. Tyler Dunn was hiking with his dad, Jason Dunn, when they both witnessed the nail-biting event. Tyler was able to capture the plane’s close call on video.

According to public records, the plane took off from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield at 9:49 a.m. and landed safely at the Granby/Grand County Airport at 11:04 a.m.

The plane has been identified as a single-engine Cessna 152 and belongs to the Rocky Mountain Flight School in Broomfield. The plane was rented and Greg Boom, who is the owner of the school, told Sky-Hi News that his staff is currently trying to reach out to the pilot to learn more about the incident.

Boom said he wasn’t aware of the incident and that he was “surprised” when he heard about it.

The number of people on board is unknown at this time and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, according to Mina Kaji, who is a media relations representative of the administration.

The pilot has not been publicly identified.

Tyler’s video shows the plane flying incredibly close to the ground. He said it appeared that the plane was flying in their direction before turning into the valley. Jason is a former pilot and wrote that “the plane was struggling trying to clear the saddle” of the mountains.

This is a developing story and more details will be published as information is received.
