A non-fatality accident in Idaho occurred on its route on February 15, 1983, on a late morning flight from Boise to Sun Valley. On approach, the sub-contracted Sierra Pacific Airlines de Havilland Twin Otter pitched forward and an emergency landing was attempted on Highway 75, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) south of runway 31 of Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey. Eight were injured, seven seriously. The control rod connection had separated; poor maintenance procedure using a non-standard bolt was cited as the cause.
