It has recently come to light that JD Vance’s plane has been forced to make an emergency landing. WISN reported that a Boeing 737 charter aircraft carrying Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance made an emergency landing at Milwaukee International Airport Friday afternoon.
As per the airport officials, the plane, operated by Eastern Air, returned to the airport around 1:30 p.m. due to a possible issue with the aircraft. The aircraft landed normally and taxied without incident under its power.
“The pilot advised there was a malfunction with the door seal. After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee.” Taylor Van Kirk, a spokeswoman for Sen. Vance, said. “As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati.”
Vance, who is a senator from Ohio and former president Donald Trump’s running mate, had been in Milwaukee Friday for a campaign stop at the Milwaukee Police Association. He made the trip with his wife, Usha, and their German Shepherd. Several reporters were also on the flight.
It has been noted that the incident comes after a plane carrying Trump last week was forced to alter its course over Montana following a mechanical issue.
Earlier this month, planes belonging to both Mr Vance and Vice-President Kamala Harris happened to coincidently be parked near each other in Wisconsin. Having a “bit of fun”, Mr Vance strolled over to the aircraft used by each US vice-president and told reporters: “I just wanted to check out my future plane.”
