Pilot killed in Heber gyrocopter crash identified; cause unknown Mauro Carlo Dal Canto, of Park City, took off from the Heber Valley Airport just after 2:20 p.m. in an experimental aircraft, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. Witnesses said after the aircraft began gaining altitude, it suddenly veered to the right and momentarily hovered above U.S. 189, before crashing near the southbound shoulder of the roadway. U.S. 189, which runs from Provo, Utah, to Jackson, Wyoming, sits adjacent to the small airport. After hitting the roadway shoulder, the gyrocopter went through a fence and came to rest in a concrete ditch. Dal Canto died as a result of the impact.
