LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say a helicopter headed to North Las Vegas Airport made an emergency landing in a flood retention basin after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.
The Federal Aviation Administration and a Las Vegas fire spokesman say there was no crash, no fire and no one was injured in the 8:30 a.m. Wednesday landing a little west of the U.S. 95 freeway, about 4 miles northwest of the airport.
The FAA said the aircraft was a Robinson R22 that's registered to an owner based at the airport.
