The C-17 military aircraft, brought from the U.S. military base in Ramstein, Germany, departed Geneva's Cointrin airport shortly before 1600 GMT (1200 ET), Reuters witnesses said, bound for Kerry's home city of Boston. "Headed back to Boston. Look fwd to getting leg set & getting back to @StateDept! Meantime, work goes on. Big thanks for well-wishes," Kerry tweeted minutes after departure.
Earlier, Kerry told French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius he would participate by telephone in a summit on Tuesday in Paris bringing together some two dozen countries to discuss the U.S.-led coalition's strategy against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
Kerry also assured Fabius he would return to cycle again in France, French officials said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry left Europe for the United States aboard a special military aircraft on Monday after breaking his leg in a cycling accident.
Kerry, 71, broke his right femur on Sunday while cycling a portion of the Tour de France route in the Haute Savoie region. He spent the night in a Geneva hospital under observation while his evacuation was planned.
Kerry had been in Geneva for negotiations on Saturday with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and after the accident has had to cancel planned visits to Madrid and Paris.

It’s the only one his head would fit inside.

hopefully the bike can be fixed and the road was not damaged. Sadly, Kerry is beyond hope.
Participate by phone? Send John Bolton in person to negotiate.
his leg break is not set yet??
what kind of medicine do they have in that country?
What the hell is a 71 year old man doing on a bicycle (besides falling off and breaking his leg)? Acting young doesn’t make you young. It makes you look foolish. Kerry, stay off bicycles.
John Fonda Kerry is a dangerous POS. He should get himself a racing bike.
This thread gives to me the opportunity to state the following:
I have seen many posts where fellow FReepers have referred to Kerry as “Lurch”.
This practice should stop immediately! It is an extreme insult to Lurch! Lurch is much smarter than Kerry!
Remember on Obama's Hawaii trip when Bo the dog got his own OSPREY..?
I wonder what really happened.
Believe it or not he was cycling on a tough uphill part of the Tour De France course. This part of the Tour De France is well known. I believe it was too tough for him and he blacked out and crashed to break his leg. IOW Kerry bit off more than he could chew.
must have slipped on a soft tar puddle, caused by man made climate change, and even with his heroic effort to maintain control, slid into the curb.
Kind of reads like North Korean news release.
European Doctors don’t know how to set a Broken Leg?
Kerry can’t fit inside a Military G550?
What am I missing?
C17 one our finest military transport airplanes. You can fit lots of men and tons of equipment
Remember Ron Brown?
How seventy-one-year-old John Kerry was trying to cycle up grueling 5,200ft alpine pass made famous by the Tour de France when he rode into a curb and broke his leg
America’s top diplomat hurt himself biking through Alpine pass

I think the Globe Master is the only aircraft capable of carrying the ego of that Euro-trash wannabe.
