Plane carrying Donald Trump made emergency landing in New Orleans after engine failure over Gulf of
Source: Washington Post
A plane carrying former president Donald Trump suffered engine failure late Saturday evening over the Gulf of Mexico, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in New Orleans shortly after taking off from the city.
The plane carrying Trump was forced to immediately return to the airport and make the unscheduled landing in Louisiana shortly before 11 p.m., according to people familiar with the episode. The plane was attempting to take Trump home to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., from the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, where he spoke to some of the partys top donors at a private event.
The incident was first reported by Politico. A Trump spokesman declined to comment.
The flight had gone approximately 75 miles after taking off from New Orleans Lakefront Airport, reaching an altitude of about 28,000 feet before turning around, according to tracking data from ADSBexchange.com. The Dassault Falcon 900 carried a retinue of Secret Service agents, other support staff, Trump and some of his advisers, the people said. One of the planes engines failed, according to people familiar with the episode.

What are tax implications of using s borrowed plane?
Not that it matters, of course. It seems that a law has been passed exempting Trump from any laws that mere mortals must abide by.

On September 14, 1999, a Falcon 900B operating for the Greek Government by Olympic Airways, and registered SX-ECH, was descending to land at Bucharest, Romania, when the autopilot disengaged and several pilot-induced oscillations occurred. The impact of unfastened passengers with the cabin and aircraft furniture resulted in fatal injuries to seven passengers, serious injuries to two and minor to another two. Among the victims was Giannos Kranidiotis, then deputy foreign minister for Greece.[15]
On 3/9/2022 it was announced an F900 carrying former president Donald Trump was forced to make an emergency landing due to engine failure

(4,552 posts)Putin is royally POd at TFG for not winning a second term, in order to help him take over all his desired territory in Europe.
With his limitless resources, Putin sabotaged the engine. But just the one. So, the plane was allowed to limp back to an airport.
Just enuf to scare the crap (literally and figuratively) out of TFG.
The message from Putin to TFG: I can still control you, you mindless ninny. You would be dead if I wanted to kill you. This was a warning.
Wonder if Trump will start making more fawning public comments about his BFF in the media. Sounds like Putin needs some propaganda from his ol puppet.
OK, tinfoil hat removed.

I guess G-d didn't feel that we can't handle getting Trump out of politics. Either that or the plane had a really good pilot. Sky Pilot. I, too, am a bit disappointed, but I guess the family's of the others don't deserve it. But, if you are a Republican advisor or working for Trump, beware. You have a choice to quit.

(7,403 posts)I was traveling from Kansas City to Omaha and about 3/4 of the way to Omaha there was the unmistakable clicking sound coming from one engine that was soon shut down as the clicking slowed to a halt. The plane turned around and returned to Kansas City and 3 of us rented a car to drive to Omaha. It wasn't scary at all but it would depend on the nature of the engine failure.

PATRICK
(12,228 posts)Problem people usually travel and talk a lot. There have been many incidents, not just small planes, where problem people, left or right, have had incidents. If memory serves me correctly(for a change) that would be Rand Paul, a few witnesses in the know about scandals, Bernie Sanders, and now His Lowness. A nicely deniable incidental failure that might even prove fatal could be a nice shot across the bows- as belated and useless as it might be. That is only speculation. What would be the actual flight hours record, use of aircraft, rush to get in the air and other factors figured in that might raise the suspicion level? You will never see that in the news unless they have to come up with a disproof narrative or conspiracy theory level debunk. Frankly, he was a problem a long time ago and his survival is what proves the restraint on lethality in GOP power grabs- at least among their own.
