A U.S. Coast Guard aircraft carrying Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin lost its right engine midflight Wednesday and was forced to divert for an emergency landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The C-37A jet had 14 people on board, and everyone landed safely.
Mullin described the incident in a post on X.
“The United States Coast Guard pilots made the single engine landing feel routine,” he said. “No panic, just straight professionalism. After we landed, the pilots told me that was a first for them! We could not have been in better hands.”
No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. …
