HEBER CITY, Utah — If you wanted to see them, it’s too late.
The Utah National Guard has removed two Blackhawk helicopters this afternoon after two collided during a training accident last week in the Mineral Basin area of the Snowbird Ski Resort.
The Nevada Army National Guard brought in one of its giant CH-47 Chinooks to help remove the two helicopters. They were hoisted over the mountain tops, right onto the ground at Heber City’s airport.

There was a small hiccup with getting the helicopters hoisted into the air, but only a tree was moderately harmed.
