SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - Mechanics expect to have a United Express airplane back in the air soon after its emergency landing in Scottsbluff.

Airport manager Darwin Skelton said Tuesday that the plane's windshield cracked Saturday evening as it flew from Rapid City, S.D., to Denver.

He says there was no loss of cabin pressure and no injuries among the 37 passengers and three crew members on board the turboprop.

Some passengers rented cars and continued to Denver, but most of them spent the night and took a bus to Denver on Sunday morning.

Paul Foley is chief operating officer for Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group, which operates the flights as United Express.

Foley says that at around 18,000 feet, one of three laminates in a windshield pane cracked, necessitating the landing.
