Trump Force Two carrying JD Vance forced to return to airport after mid-flight scare
SUMMARY
J.D. Vance's campaign plane, a chartered Boeing 737 known as "Trump Force Two," was forced to make an emergency landing in Milwaukee on Friday afternoon due to a malfunction. The aircraft, carrying Vance, his wife Usha, their dog Atlas, key staff, Secret Service agents, and a few journalists, had to turn back shortly after takeoff when the pilot reported a problem with the door seal. According to Vance's spokeswoman Taylor Van Kirk, the pilot declared an emergency, and the plane safely returned to Milwaukee. After the issue was resolved, the flight continued as planned to Cincinnati. Vance has been traveling extensively through battleground states since being named Donald Trump's running mate. The plane is decorated with campaign slogans like "Drain the Swamp of Washington Corruption" and features the names of donors on its tail. The incident follows another aviation issue involving Trump, whose plane diverted to Billings, Montana, due to a mechanical problem.
