Two men were killed Thursday morning when a small plane went down near the Springbank Airport, just west of Calgary. The Springbank Airport, indicated by the red marker, is located about 12 kilometres west of Calgary's western periphery. The Springbank Airport is commonly used by smaller airlines, private aviators and for flight training. Earlier this year, two flight instructors from Mount Royal University were killed when their small plane went down about 60 kilometres northwest of the Springbank Airport. Former Alberta premier Jim Prentice was also en route to the Springbank Airport from Kelowna, B.C., when his plane went down in October 2016, killing all four people on board.
